Now that I have a blackberry Curve, I have a hard time figuring out how to dial a phone number with letters, like '1-800-flowers' etc. Is there an app or any any solution out there available for this unusual problem?
You can actually type these numbers without any new apps installed, it's supported natively. Just type 800, hold down the ALT key, and type in the letters of the number you want to dial (ex FLOWERS) while holding ALT. Then hit talk. The screen will show you are dialing 800 FLOWERS, and will automatically convert it once you hit talk.
