HTC EVO 101: Use Smart Dial to call contacts faster
Tired of searching through your entire contacts list to make a call? The HTC EVO combined with the built-in Smart Dial feature helps you easily find the right person within seconds.
Smart Dial lets you quickly choose and dial a contact with just a few keystrokes. Your contact list can be narrowed down by typing the beginning of the first or last names, the contact number, or even the person's initials. It is a fast and efficient way to make calls.
Another great feature is the ability to bring up contact info without having to exit the phone dialer. Just tap on the rolodex icon to the right of the contact. This is handy if you don't want to dial the default number and would rather shoot them a quick text or email, or just see address information.
If you are like me and have lots of contacts stored on your HTC EVO, Smart Dial is a great way to quickly access that person you need to get in touch with. My phone currently holds more than 400 contacts; I'm sure I could reduce it if I took the time to delete old entries, but Smart Dial is just easier to use.
