looking up number from phone dialer

cmancuso · #1 01-22-2006 -

I am ex user of 7250 and i used to be able to type in the phone section of my bb and have the device assume a text search was needed. now, it seems to always assume i am typing a number to dial. it was pretyy convenient to not have to go to the address book and look for a name and number.

Anyone know of a way to change this?

thanks, C

While in the phone screen press the track wheel and select "Call from address book"

Not sure if that's what you're reffering to.

If you hold down the green call button, it will being up the phone screen in 'hybrid' mode with the address book and you can type a name to dial. I think that's what you're looking for.

THX much for the tip about holding down the green phone talk key to dial direct from address book. It was frustrating when I needed to call someone quick & constantly having to jog wheel to the address book & go from there.
