Dialing by Contact Name
You can look up contacts quickly by entering just a few letters of
a contact’s name directly from your Today screen. Before you can
dial a call by contact name, you must create some contacts (see
“Adding a Contact” on page 238) or import them by
synchronizing (see “Connecting to Your Computer” on page 41).
1. Go to your Today screen (see “Accessing Your Today
Screen” on page 76).
2. Use the keyboard to type the first or last name of the
contact you want to call. (If you enter both the first and last
name [or the first letters of each], enter a space between
the two names.)
3. After you find the contact you want, select the number you want to call.
4. Press Phone/Talk to make the call.
After you look up a contact, you can select how you want to communicate with that person.
Highlight the contact’s name, press Center (or tap and hold with the stylus), and then
select the communication method you want to use.
Tip
To delete letters when correcting a misspelled name, press Backspace.
Tip
To see a contact’s address, company, and other details, highlight the name,
press
Center on the 5-way, and then select Open Contact.
