[edit] Improvements to Windows Mobile

Palm updated the Windows Mobile today screen, making it much easier to dial the phone. The user can type a couple of letters of the recipient's name to select their phone number.

  • Palm has really created something nice here by allowing you to automatically dial any extra special digits, including pauses for voice mail passwords, or other digits in order to get to the party you wish to speak to. Now, you can dial your spouse's office number, AND their extension number with just one tap instead of having to do it manually. [3]

There is on-screen support for voice mail. Instead of waiting for numbered prompts (or needing to memorize them), the user can select an action with left-and-right arrow keys. This feature is customizable for additional voicemail (not just Verizon's), enabling the user to access work voicemail (which may have different numbered prompts from Verizon's).
