I'm sorry if this has been covered somewhere before, but I've search for over an hour, and can't find a good answer.
Is the a reliable way to have a bigger keypad for phone dialing? I want to keep all the original functionality including smart dialing and voice dialing, but with bigger keys that are more "finger friendly"
Thanks
Start -> Programs -> Phone
That what you were after? Or is it not what you wanted?
bcarpman: there are various custom skins available for the dialler. Search for "eten dialler", or check out Buzz's site/signature.
There are other ways, but this is the mainstream way.

The built in seems a bit too slow for me to dial. Any alternatives?
thanks
I found if I disabled video calling I got a different dialer that worked great.
Now if only I could find a large button skin that worked with it!
Give "Smart Dialer 2.0" a try. You can find the trial version at http://myluckypda.net.
It has large buttons therefore good for stylus-Free dialing.
It is much faster than the built in smart dialer.
It can also be used to send text messages.
Also provides a way to enter new con.tacts to your address book directly from the dialer interface.
And now the bad point. It loads at startup, therefore will increase your boot up time by about 10 seconds and consume about 2MB of additional RAM (Program Memory)

Nice dialer, very good tip, tks mike
I gotta say that's one of the ugliest dialers I've ever seen!
I still wish I could use the standard one--just with bigger buttons.

I love some of the skins in the first one, however they don't let me use the standard WM6 dialer (not the slow HTC one where i have to wait a second inbetween each key-press)
Have you tried imaginet fingerclix.
Supports both landscape and portrait, sending of SMS, etc.

Can the buttons be made bigger - is there a skin for this?
I find them too small after coming to the trinity from an old motorola a1000 which was really easy to dial with.
Thanks, Dean
Can anyone help woth this ??

Thanks for the response but its not the keyboard I'm looking for (I use fitaly). I want a different phone pad with physically larger buttons for dialing. I've searched high and low for this but every phone pad skin seems to be a variation on the same layout ie the buttons are the same size.
I'm beginning to wonder if such a thing is possible or if the buttons have to be a certain size/postition on the screen.
Dean
This could be very useful, texting would be almost like on regular phones with one hand usage, if this comes with vibrating when you press a button it will be ideal.
OK, still looking for an answer here. Anybody with a suggestion ....
NO response here sorry - but I also would like a phone skin with bigger buttons and so would just about everyone else I know!
bepe's ROMs came with the new style black dialer that was a lot more finger friendly. Up till now, however I have not seen it with video dial capabilities. Have a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=41640&d=1181983764

i'm using the phonepad/dialer in the above post, however, i've noticed that the smartdial will ocassionaly stop working and require a soft-reset. other than that, it appears to be better than the standard one that comes with the Trinity.
Found this in the Kiaser forums, a new Contact Manager.
Its Brilliant.
Looks great, easy to use, and low memory footprint.

You should give iContact or PocketCM a test run. I personally prefer iContact.

I personally agree that this is a very good app to use when you have more than thousand contacts to search for.
Scrolling in PocketCM is good when you don't have a lot of contacts.
would have been a great app if you could localize it like icontact and pocketcm.
without localization, it doesn't have much use for alot of users....
Is this just for WM6? I tried to install on WM5 and got an error message when I tried to run it.
'The file fingerfriendlyfriends' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file.'
They keyboard is Norwegian at the moment because... humm.. I'm Norwegian ;-)
It will become customizable before the final 1.0 release. You will be able to define your own keyboard.
As for WM5 compatibility: it's compiled for WM6, but that's only because I haven't installed the WM5 SDK myself. It will most probably become WM5 compatible as well.
Very nice. It loads faster than PocketCM and doesn't stay resident.

+1,icontact 0.3 is very easy to use,better than PocketCM and the other contact manager ...
Looking very nice so far.
Any chance of adding finger scrolling to the search results?
Also what does more do as I can't press it?

Scrolling will be implemented, but perhaps not finger scrolling (it will be incompatible with the selection method).
The "more" is just a label telling that there are more contacts than the ones being displayed. I will replace it with something more descriptive.
Very nice
I find the idea very good.
Fuzzy recognition of typing.
In my opinion a merge of pocketcm (threaded sms, scroll list...) with your idea would be really the best .
Much better then all commercial solutions out there.
EDIT- Jumped to other forum thread. Sorry.
i used to have a treo 750, and the features i miss are:
1) how do i make the Default Search Provider on the Today page Google instead of LiveSearch?
2) how do i display a contacts search box in the today page?
3) whats the best way to get threaded SMS/MMS?
thanks in advance!

1) There's a cab to change the default search engine in LiveSearch posted around and about. Search for google in this forum and work from there, it'll turn up as it's been posted a lot.
2) There will be a today plugin for that somewhere, though probably not on xda-dev. I've never seen one for that specifically but there are literally thousands, maybe even millions of today plugins about by now, and most old ones from PPC 2002 onward are still ok but there are squillions just for WM5/6. Searching on ppc freeware sites should find you that.
3) Most 6.1 roms have threaded sms enabled anyway so you could do that. I notice from your thread in the 6.1 forum you've got an older rom installed so you might not need to look anywhere else if you just update the rom. Otherwise, there are a few apps out there to do it: there's 'palm threaded sms' and VITO Software make one, but there are others as well. Again, a freeware site (VITO's isn't free) should help.
Happy Hermes-ing!

Hi EREZYAD, thanks
Landscape support will be part of next version.
Probably the first app, anyone should install for his WM. Once you get used to it, you can't live without it.
great job!

need a bit help
I've been searching for quite some time for the program for searching contact and handling its information, (I have over 1200 contacts), and then yesterday I found O3Touch. Though I'm still only at the start stages, I find that searching is extremely fast and resembles nothing I've seen before. What I am still having trouble understanding from the manual, is how to find a contact by its company name?

Hi Sigal
First go to settings page 1, press Search mode button until you get "Search mode contain " then close settings. Now type the name of the company and you'll see the first 4 contacts of the same company, if you have more than 4 press on what you typed on the top and you'll get all.
Greetings
@ Arie
AMAZING WORK !!! Thank you and Keep going!

Searching the company name filed is active in the “contain…” search mode. Switch to “contain…” mode by touching the right side of the top line.

Hi Sigal and welcome,
As a person that use this wonderful dialer (and much more ), for quiet a lot of time, I can tell you that you won't replace this app with any other dialer. In just 3-4 days you will be at the end of the learning stage, just use it (you don't have any other choices )
As for your question - Just search regularly as you search for names, but be sure that you are in CONTAIN mode, otherwise it will only search in name/family.
(I will explain as a TOUCH PHONE user not SMARTPHONE)
This is done in 2 ways :
1. Settings page 1/8 line 4 (touch logo button and goto Settings)
2. Start searching and touch to the right of the search string where is say "Start with", and it will change to CONTAIN, and from now will search in this mode.
If it finds more then 4 results, just touch the SEARCH STRING to list all the results.
And... if you would like to be updated in Hebrew and see whats new, goto the Freak forum at:
http://www.pocketpcfreak.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=Himalaya;action=display;num=1233437360
Enjoy!
I can say that the three of us should go to sleep now
That's what I am going to do now.
Good night everyone....
many thanx
to all who posted replies to my question; very helpful
