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 258) or import them by 
synchronizing (see “Connecting to Your Computer” on page 39)
1.
Go to your Today screen. 
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.)
3.
Matching contacts are displayed with a code for the type of number you last entered for 
that contact: “w” for work, “m” for mobile, and so on.
If the contact name appears with the code for the number you want to dial, highlight 
the name and press Phone/Talk 
 to dial the number.
If you want to dial a different number for a displayed contact, highlight the contact 
name and press Right  
or 
Left   until the code you want appears. Press 
Phone/Talk 
 to dial the number associated with the code.
If you want to select from other ways 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 delete letters when correcting a misspelled name, press 
Backspace
.
If you press E, R, or any other key that displays both a letter and a number, 
you see onscreen not only matching names but the number as well. The 
numbers do not affect the process for dialing by contact name.
