how can i turn off the dial feature from the main screen.. so i can use the shortcuts and my phone does not automatically think that i am trying to make a phone call?

Could you expand on what you're trying to do? You mean the speed dial feature? I'm not sure what you're referring to.

Go to phone mode
Hit the bb button
Go to options
Go to general options
Unselect dial from home screen

That should do it.

sorry... i realized it wasnt very clear.
when the phone is on the home screen with my L theme for example and i hit a number key, it automatically assumes that i am trying to make a phone call. i read somewhere someone made reference to the fact that you could turn off a feature that makes your phone think that you are making a phone call everytime that you hit a number key from the main screen.
so say for example i want to hit a short cut with the f key... my phone automatically thinks i am dialing a number with a 4 and brings up my phone book and starts a "call"
hope that makes better sense.

hmm... under general option i only have the following choices....
auto answer
auto end
confirm delete
restrict my id
phone list view
show my number
default call volume
and enhance call audio

no choice that you mentioned. maybe am i in the wrong options menu?

You can't turn this off on the pearl at the moment.

The format bberry accepts is: phonenumber x access code #.

for example: 777-777-1111x1234567#. You don't need the dashes in the phone number. Do NOT put any other characters in the access code as it will stop the code entry.

Open your appt, highlight the phone number and access code and hit dial. It works great. I now go in a reformat my calls for the week using this format and have shared the info internally.

can you please let me know if there is an option that allows me to see previously dialed numbers, or numbers in my contact list that start with the same numbers i am dialing? for example, as i dial my area code 214 - all previously dialed #'s would appear so i can scroll and select one rather than dialing.

thanks!
