Tap a phone number or contact from the list.

After entering a complete number, tap Call.

To call a different phone number associated with the contact, you can:

Tap at the right side of the contact name. On the contact details screen, tap the number you want to call.

First slide your finger up or down the optical trackball to highlight a contact. Then slide left or right across the optical trackball to switch to another number.

What is Smart Dial?

The phone dialer’s Smart Dial feature makes it quick and easy for you to place a call. Simply enter the phone number or first few letters of the person you want to call. Smart Dial automatically searches and filters your contacts list (stored on your phone and online accounts such as Google Account and Exchange ActiveSync) and the phone numbers from the call history.
