Hey, I just noticed the thread that was above mine. I am currently using a Speed Dial program INSIDE of UL that works pretty well. It is a bit limited, but it works.
It is a downloaded hack from the Treo's. They just pulled out their Speed Dial ability.
I found it here:

The limitations are that you can only have 5 pictures up at at time. You can scroll over to get more, but the scroll bar is super tiny on mine. I just keep my five most important ones up.
But it is FREE and works INSIDE of UL just fine.
I hope this helps.
