One thing I missed with the TP2 that I had on the Treo 700wx was that when you were in the home screen you could just start typing someone's name on the keyboard and the phone would automatically start to look up telephone numbers. The one you want pops up, tap and you're off. Very efficient.
Today I wondered if this might work using the TP2's slideout keyboard and it totally works the same way. Course the Treo was more convenient because the keyboard is fixed but I still think this works pretty well and will be faster than just about anything except for a quick link for a contact that I have right on my Home Screen.
Never noticed this, very nice! Thanks.

This is what I usually do, I love smart dialing. I don't really understand why none of the other major OSes use it (Android, iPhone, WebOS, etc), ah well.
