Press Phone repeatedly to toggle between the Active call screen and the Main view of the Phone application.

The personal speakerphone lets you use other features, such as checking your calendar, during a call.

The Extra Digits button appears only during outbound calls to numbers that include pre-defined extra digits.

To avoid accidentally pressing onscreen buttons while you’re holding the phone up to your ear to speak, you can disable the touchscreen during active calls (see page 122).
