Believe One Touch Speed Dialing Possible

Anyone notice that if you are using the keypad and hold down the 1 you are connected to your dial in voicemail. Why couldn't this be applied to the favorites. Your number one favorite would be assigned 2 and so on. Don't see why they can have the "1" dedicated to voicemail and not apply to everything else. Thoughts?????

I don't really see what the difference between this and the favorites list is. You'd still have to get the to keypad section instead of favorites.

Yeah, me either. I still don't understand what the big deal is about "no speed dial". I was especially perplexed about why peoople make such a big deal about this when I saw the "Favorites" list. That's much better than speed dial IMO.

Yes, speed dial wouldn't be useful. I guess what people are wanting is the ease of just holding down a button, and "boom", you're calling someone. I wish the contacts button or favorites button could be put on the home screen, which would take away one more step.

Now that's a good idea...

I think there were some pretty good ideas in this thread...

This was my idea there..

Different images of contacts on the unlock screen. Hit the contact and then slide the unlock to dial.

With speed dial, I alway forgot what # was for what person. With favorites, you just press the person you want to call. I love it!!
