I think the assumption (by the engineer of the phone) is that with
often called people, the call history is used to dial the number, etc.

My wife's Sanyo 8100 is as you described. It only has 8 or 9
single-digit speedials (2-9 or 2-0). This is diffrent from most
Samsungs in which the phonebook slot number = the speedial number (1, 2
or 3 digits).

Though the Sanyo system has only 8 or 9 speedials (which is all that
many people can remember anyway), you can assign speedials to more than
one number from a phonebook slot. For example, you can have your
spouse's work and cell numbers in one phonebook entry and each can be
assigned to a single-digit speedial. With a Samsung, you have to make
separate phonebook slots for the work and cell numbers so that they can
be separate speedials.

Actually with 8200 you don't need to assign different numbers of the
same entry to different speeddials -- you can access all numbers through
one speeddial. Prese *and release* the speeddial number, and as your
programmed entry is displayed, you can use left and right arrows to
cycle through all the different numbers in that entry.

So if you program mobile numbers of your most common callees to
speeddials, pressing <number> <right arrow> TALK will call their home
numbers.

What I don't understand is why they don't have speeddials on buttons
0 and 1 (there are plenty of other buttons they could've used for
voicemail instead of 1, and 0 is practically unused).

1 is set to call your voice mail. O is used to call the operator ...

I know, but those are unfortunate choices. As I mentioned, there
are plenty of buttons that could've been used to call voicemail when
held (e.g. MENU/OK, TALK, BACK, *, #), and Operator could've been
preprogrammed as a regular speeddial, changeable if desired.
