speed dial

Hi,
First, this is a great forum, and I really appreciate all the effort. I'm switching from a Treo 650 to the BB Curve. Does anyone know if there is a way to pull up the speed dial list from the side-convenience key, or failing that from the main menu? I'm trying to figure out a way I can gain quick access to frequently called numbers without having to memorize a speed dial list or hit a bunch of keys? Thanks.

Hello and welcome 2 CB.

Your are able to start typing their names from the main menu, which I find to be as good as speed dial.
