Menus Calls / Contacts Messaging  

The phone dialer is the only place to display a customized picture, which is shown in place of a giant on-screen numeric keypad. By default the numeric keypad part of the keyboard can also be used to dial numbers. However, in one of the many menus is an option to enable contact search using the keyboard, the same way one can on Windows Mobile or phones like the Sidekick and Ocean. We found the on-screen keypad plus contact search to be an unbeatable combination, even if it did mean a dull lack of wallpaper.

In call options are all accessed using on-screen buttons that are big and easy to read, though not necessarily as large or well organized as other touch screen smartphones. But they are still very easy to use for all common functions.

The contacts application has not changed much since the days of Palm PDAs. Options for photo caller ID and a customized ringtone have been added, as well as spot for IM buddy names. By default there are spaces for 4 phones numbers, one email address and one IM name, but more can be added by clicking on the plus sign button.

It is easy to make a call or start a message or email from the contact list. This is also the same view used when sorting through contacts on the dialer screen.
