Menus Calls / Contacts Messaging

Each contact entry can hold 4 phone numbers, two email addresses and a fax number. You can also select a photo for caller ID and custom ringtone in the entry. As an interesting addition, you can also customize an alert for text messages from each contact.

Other than the lack of speakerphone, calling features work as expected. When receiving a call, sliding the phone open answers it. Or if you want to work a bit harder you can unlock the keys and hit the send button. During a call the left soft key acts as mute while the right opens an options menu. To end a call you could find the end button on the side, or more likely, you can just close the slide. If you answer a call with the phone closed, you do not need to unlock the keys to hit the end key.

When using a bluetooth headset, even if you open the phone to make a call, you can close it without ending the call, so it can stay tucked away in your pocket.
