I don't see how you can't just use a s2a dialer, press the phone key, open the keyboard, hand it to her, and ask her to dial, hang up, and add her name to your contacts. she'll at least be able to get her name in and you can press ok once you get it back from her.

I got a chick's digits a few days ago, and she nearly gave -up... You know how it goes...

Chick: Hey, let me see your phone.
You: *hands phone over*

Few hours later, you're sitting in your pad and scrolling through your contacts to see who to hit up... Woah... New contact, that chick from earlier added herself to your list without telling ya! NICE!

Well ****, this is how it went for me...

Chick: Heya, let me see your phone!
Me: *hands over phone*
Few mins pass...
Chick: How the **** do you go to your contacts?!
Me: uh... here..
Chick: Oh my god... this is confusing ARGH!!!
Few mins later...
Chick: FINALLY!!! I GOT IT!!!
*crickets*

Haha... yeah... Not every girl is going to try that hard to get her digits into your phone.

So far the only thing i've noticed is that if you opened up the keyboard before handing it over, Contacts button pops up in the bottom right...

Or perhaps maybe there is a .cab file to make some quick hints appear on the bottom softkeys... Because people most of the time don't even know the bottom softkeys are even buttons...

Perhaps a way to make it say between the softkeys:
<--- Tap --->
<- Buttons ->
<--- Click -->

or something inbetween the soft keys... Anything to get a Touch Pro virgin navigating your phone easily.

Or make them stand out easier, perhaps a different color?

LMAO that story was F'in great!
haha had a good laugh out of that 1 :P

for your start menu issues if you want to make it look more like windows then you should give wisbar advance a try, you can mimic xp - vista - iphone - apple or what ever you want. i used to use it alot with my iphone themeing.

Why not have a new contact window open when you hand it over, Oh, and you may want to slid out the keyboard for them that can be very confusing as well. When she h hand the phone back, open a new contact window for the next lady.

Well see that's the thing... What if the chick is just tech savvy and wants to see the phone... I don't want to just hand it to her contacts list blaring in her face... what the hell, lol.

Finally... But yeah, I knew someone would get a kick out of it lol. It was funnier when it happened... I stepped out of the trailer (we were camping at a camp ground in Ocotillo Wells (off-road recreation desert area in SoCal) with my buddy and I was like, "Lol, you should have seen how hard it was for her to put her info into my phone lol..." and he's like, "Yeah.. that's dumb, that's not a good thing you idiot." I just thought about that for a second and was like, "Ohshi---.... damnit!"

So here I am.

Hmm is it a full theme? Because I don't want to change the appearance of my task buttons....
