REQ: Dialer which I can use with Fingers?

I am looking for a Dialer for Windows Mobile 5 that lets me dial contacts without the use of a stylus or without having to use the pushbuttons - just the touchscreen.
Basically I am looking for something like this - but in either english or german.

Thanks will give it a try!

You should use Smart dialing.It's default in wizard.

What's the difference between Smart Dialer and the one from http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=35326
I have a Wizard, but I dont know SmartDialing...screenshot anybody?

AFAIK smartdialing is just an add on to the original phone app that lists contacts that match the nubers you have diald already. It doesent make it any easier to acctually dial the numbers. I dont use smart dialer at all, it was just in my way most of the time. So last time I did a hard reset I then followed with a soft reset at the "your device will be customized in 3 seconds" screen and then installed all the CAB's I did want manually.

I have tried almost all types of smartdialing from default one to third-party software and i strongly recommend you to use the followings:
- Imagine Finger Clix WM5 (English version)
- Inesoft Address Book
They are not free but the biggest advantages of these software are that they both allow seaching contacts with two clicks thanks to wise T9 system and they are super fast with beatiful skin
Give them a try and you would never disappoint, especially inesoft address book (don't forget to accept assigning inesoft to hot key when setup)

When you use smartdailing, just type in the name from the person you want to call and smartdailer looks it up in your contacts. This works like T9, for example push the numbers 665754 (or less when it allready in your screen) to call Molski. With this tool you don't have to know the whole phonenumber and you don't have to go to your contacts for calling.
I hope it is al little bit clear how Smartdailing works.....and I don't want working with out it any more!!

Insert contact numbers when composing SMS messages.
I created this simple application because sometimes when i send contact details to other phones using vcard, they cannot seem to receive it. Also, it's very frustrating to copy/paste contact details from the contacts window to the new sms window.
I hope this will help other members too
Download it HERE

great work..i some times have need for it

Hi Oldsap,
I appreciate the work. I actually use this old version from Ondrej at airfagev that was built for WM2003 I believe but works perfectly on WM 6.1. I like it because it adds an option in the main contacts area on the menu bar itself (not a separate application). Here's the description:
This free Contacts Add-On has been inspired by RJV SendContact. Since the SendContact has many drawbacks like you can't use T9 search from list of Contacts, etc., Ondrej has developed this and shared it to airfagev as a freeware.
After installing the app, you should see Send via email/SMS added to your contacts menu. This utility also allows you to select which contact info you want to send like Name, Mobile No., Work No., etc. Thanks to Ondrej.

hey oldsap, thanks muchly for the Insert Contacts app, it's certainly easier than faffing about trying to copy & paste!
gadgetshrink, i've installed the contacts menu app a few times on WM6 Touch but cannot find anyway to activate / use it on the phone...
any help? maybe i'm missing something?

Contacts in "Messaging"

Has anyone found another way around this? When you go to Messaging > New message...do you really have to put in a phone number or can you type a name instead?
Because If i type in a name, it just types in the numerical equivalent of the letters. for example: Ryan Smith comes out to "7926 76484"
Does Google actually think that people will memorize the phone numbers of the contacts they want to text message?
So the way around it for now is to go to Contacts and click on "Send Txt Message" but I've been spoiled with the Dash where I can just search for the contacts in the messaging client itself.

when I go to messaging>new message and I type in a name, it has a list to select from. The first is the numerical equivalent, but under that are all the matching names in my phone book. Is yours not like this?

Me too....

it's weird cuz i do. since there is no program that takes screenshots of the g1 yet, i took a picture:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
i tried typing in Cheryl Addeco (don't worry, it's not a real name haha) and it never displayed the phone number I inputed 14089994433. Instead, it just did the "numerical equivalent" of 243795 233326

weird... it should show below it did on mine... I will get screen shots tomorrow of what I do.

i get a list of my contacts as well not sure why this is happenning to some and not others.

yeah i,ve had that problem with i first got the phone.
I didn't use Gmail for contacts much.
I exported my contacts from outlook using CSV
and then imported them into gmail when i got my G1.
I was having the same exact problem as the OP.
I've noticed a pattern with it though.
It only happened with some contacts.
Other contacts it would show up when i started typing their name.
I tried to find something in common with the ones that showed up.
I realized that when i had a POS nokia 6131, when i added contacts it saved their number as "Other"
When i added contacts with my iphone, i had a chance to select it as "Mobile".
The contacts that show, have (Mobile) next to the names.
So i went into my Gmail, and edited all the numbers to be Mobile as opposed to Other.
After i finished that everything was fine!

All of them are Mobile...if they're supposed to be in Mobile. Interestingly enough, I tried playing around with changing them from Mobile to Home and when I click on save, it doesn't save the changes and leaves it to whatever it was.
The ONLY number that shows up is the one I added. I noticed though when I looked in GMail contacts that for the person that shows up, it says "mobile" and the rest of my contacts say "Mobile"

Hi roisagi.

Language cannot add.
Thanks.

This looks a lot like iContact.. Did you use their open source code?

the official link for the website is down

Hi Floxzie.
No, I do not use iContact source code.
This source code is completely our original.
The touch feeling is so different.

PCM and iContact are freely and really usefull ... Why a shareware ? So it's your choice ...

Hi Caramel.
If the difference is not felt, it is not worth shareware.

Sure !!! Let the time to the time !

10MB is a lot.
In any case, the site is dead.
Another 1 bites the dirt.

it useless for non-english users
it could be good if everyone can change set of INDEX letters somеwhere in settings.....

Start Menu Shortcut for Individual Contact

Hello,
Is there a parameter to pass ":MSCONTACTS" to go directly to an individual contact? I'm interested in adding start menu shortcuts for some of my favorite contacts. Thanks in advance...

As far as I know there's no direct way to launch a contact. However I'm currently working on a new version of Taskbar launcher which allows to launch contacts directly. I also can easily add a command line parameter so you can launch your contacts through a link....

When you use WM 6.5's "search" program, you can parse through and launch contacts individually, so I'm sure there's a way to do it. I just don't know how it does what it does....

You can connect to POutlook, parse through contacts and call the Show() function and you see the original contact dialog. At least that's how I do it in my app and let me guess: search function is doing just the same. I don't think you can do this through a simple :MSCONTACTS command line parameter....

this might help

Create a direct link for a certain telephone nr/sms/mms/email/more..
In a way it's easy. Start reading a thread I created specific for it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623195
In short, start a text editor (no unicode) like notepad and type ;
39#"\Windows\cprog.exe"-url tel:0123456789
where 0123456789 = any telephone number.
Make sure you press the ENTER key after your phone nr. and before saving the file!
Give it a name. Rename the file from YourContactName.txt to YourContactName.LNK (capitals are not nessecary, it's just for clarity).Another example;
Direct SMS (I called it SMS2.lnk);
51#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "" -body ""
I've been amazed too...! Once. Now I have MortScripts with icons

I wonder, if this could work with 6.5.x..

@Senax
With your approach you can directly call a hard coded number or send message, right!? With the method I'm using however you can directly open the contact page for a particular person, see the contact picture and choose whether you want to make a call, write message or email etc.
I mean this one:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

go2contact is what you want. It's a really cool, tiny, super fast cmd app.
I added a dynamic contact shortcuts page to my HS++ theme (I can manage them on-the-fly in the Today screen) by means of Mortscripts that use go2contact and ContactRetriever (this last conponent is C# which makes this process slower... but it seems like Cyclone is learning C++ so there may be a faster version ).
