Yeah, I do it all the time AND I have a car with bluetooth and a bluetooth sync'd phonebook.

It's just that with 400+ contacts it's easier to start typing the name then dial than it is to use the scroll wheel on my steering wheel to click through them one at a time, then have it go back to the beginning if you got a busy signal, etc...

Hahaha. Ok then..here you go

-SCH-i760- The new replacements I got work well, but I prefer the one handed vertical qwerty in my i730 over any horizontal sliding qwerty keyboards.
NEXT? Maybe i770..?..Omnia?..Innov8? Chuck Verizon all together for an SGH-i760? iPhone? I don't know yet but I still thoroughly enjoy my i730!

Ya.. that sounds better.. Heh..

HELLO SAMSUNG??! SEE THIS? PLEASE USE THIS MODEL AS SPECIFIED WITH AN OPTIONAL CAMERA IN IT THIS TIME. WE WANTS IT WE NEEEDZ IT! IF NOT, YOU CAN WATCH MY $MONEY$ AS WELL AS OTHER PEOPLES $MONEY$ GO BYE BYE.

Ps: I added the word SAMSUNG to his original post where it originally was aimed at VERIZON

If they have the camera be optional, as in not just make a GSM version, or a CDMA version of the phone avaliable, but also camera versions for at least the CDMA and/or GSM, they will be able to heavily market not just buisnesses but also regular tech lovers/users who want photo contacts, sharing, and web cam usage..the option accounts for the fact that their are many who state they can't have cameras in at their jobs, unless of course the buisness allows cameras and/or web conferencing as well. Two cameras would be great I think, one for web cam the other for photos as they do in the korean models.

Actually, it's VZW's call. With ~60mm subscribers, any CDMA handset-maker would develop and produce to VZW's specs, including form-factor. As usual, buying power rules.

What we observe, though, is that VZW (and the other US carrier sheep) really don't operate this way, a shame. They're remarkably ignorant about industrial design, feature sets, operating systems, applications software, mobile solutions, and usability.

Carrier people with the authority to make these decisions lack vision and "touch." What they do is let device houses hatch new platforms and present them for evaluation. Then, they hack away at functionality, either to save 15¢ or to relieve anal stress, or both...

Thus, a firm like Sammy feels it's under pressure to reinvent the wheel each year. Lacking marketing skills and enlightened VZW guidance, it doesn't know it's obliged to carry on with the ix30 platform. Nobody told 'em the truth.

The right move for Sammy would be to offer, á la Nikon, a system. With this approach, Sammy would deploy two or three platform variants, and a family of add-ons and accessories, and stake its claim for PPC leadership once-and-for-all. With awesome vertical integration, it could dismiss HTC with the wave of a wand.

Ultimately, what we're all looking for is the Era of Choice. It will occur when subscribers take away from carriers their impermissible, insufferable, and innovation-stifling role in hardware distribution.

--BAM

For one thing you need to be driving 100 mph with your eyes closed and dialing the phone with one hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Voice Command?

I think it's time to move on....This device looks old.
You will be very supprised how well you will like the new look and key board when it's released.

I still have trouble with robot-speak on certain names. I can mimic how it pronounces Verizon (accent on the first syllable and a short i), but can't get it right for others.
