Any way of quickly dialing numbers on T610?

Hi

Just 'upgraded' to T610 from Nokia phone, and I cant find a way of quickly
dialing a given number -

on my Nokia, i went into phone book, and tapped in the first 2 or 3 letters
of name, and pressed dial

On the T610, as I tap through letters, it resets the search (eg, type R,I,P
looking for Ripper, and it ends up on first P entry). Therefore, I have to
go to the correct letter, and scroll through all my contacts until I find
the correct one

Any way round this?

I know you can assign 9 numbers for speed dial, by storing them on SIM, and
that you can voice dial, but that takes longer than looking it up in the
phone book

I also know about the recent calls list, but that doesnt always have the
number on it, and if it does, its in a random position

Also, it takes many, many keypresses to send a sms - any way of speeding
this up?

I LOVE the GPRS stuff on this phone tho, seems a lot more responsive than
the Nokia one, also SMSs go a lot quicker

thanks
g

you can access ANY number saved to the sim by pressing it's storage
place followed by # like this:

Ripper is saved as SIM entry No. 36, just press 36# and voila there it
is. Now you can even scroll through.

This works on almost any mobile, independent from its manufacturer.

SIM solution is good especially if you use a computer based address
manager program that can edit SIM locations. I have mine grouped to the
various number ranges (1-250) for easy access.

Other options include voice tagging, recent call list and missed call
list for rapid access to certain numbers.

From the main display, look for the button which has the first letter on it,
in this case the 7 button. Keep it depressed for a few seconds. This will
take you to a contact list, pointing at the first contact starting with a P,
from this you can scroll down to the right contact.

This has worked this way on all Ericssons for a long time.

Thanks...

can you suggest a computer based address manager for the T610 please?

cheers

'Dial Contact' to my first shortcut, now left on joystick ---> look up
number by name
