Calls

Calling works a little bit differently on the Status when compared to other HTC Android phones. Because the Status has physical buttons with numbers, it skips the software dial-pad. Pressing the physical send button opens up the call log. You can see the last few phone calls made/received on this screen. Press the screen for instant access to those calls. If you want, you can use the buttons to type in a phone number on this screen. As you type, the device will search through your contacts and match them to either the numbers or names being typed. You can also jump into the contacts app in you prefer.

If you want to skip opening the phone app, simply start dialing a name from the home screen and the phone app will automatically open and start sorting through contacts/numbers as you type. Once you've picked out who you want to call and hit send, the in-call tools work the same as they do on other Android devices, though the menu options have been moved from the bottom of the screen to the right side of the screen.

 

Contacts

The contact application on the Status works much as it does on other Sense 3.0 devices. Each contact card holds a minimum of five numbers, and can store tons of other data, such as address, email, Facebook data, notes, birthdays and more.

The contact and calling applications work well with one another, and make accessing contacts and interacting with them a breeze.
