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.)

Tip

To delete letters when correcting a misspelled name, press Backspace.

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 see a contact’s address, company, and other details, highlight the name,
	press Center on the 5-way, and then select Open Contact.
