@Dominique:
To reach "Edit before call", open call history and scroll down to any number and then bring down the pull-down menu, select "Edit" and then "Edit before call".
@BBS:
Edit before call can be reached both in FC and FO modes. Still the same restrictions on how to edit though. You can't add/remove digits in the middle of a phone number. Also, deleting the last digit still exits edit mode.

Thanks AbuBasim for the reply. SE is mad to provide such function only by name - it is entirely useless. I have been using this function from Ti68i and after several years SE is going downhill. After all I assume SE's flagship smart phone is already sunk.

Not in my case because I don't see any restriction at all. I can edit any digit of any phone number as I wish without exit or similar. Also editing is user friendly and can be done using left-right arrow and num keypad.
Note:My P990 is without the flip. |

Ah yes, the left and right arrow keys do indeed work in FO mode. I assume that this is not intentionally so by SE. Otherwise they would have added a cursor to show the current position within the phone number being edited.

Cursor is there so one can know what number would be deleted or on which position the number would be added. |

Really? Are we still talking about "Edit before call"? I do not see a cursor on my phone when using this function. What theme do you use?
Edit: If I tap the number with the stylus, or twist the jog wheel up or down, a cursor appears . . . And if a cursor is visible, the whole number can be deleted without exiting edit mode.

A customer of mine's P990 update stops at 99% every time  Guess we'll have to send it to service centre...

Yes, you are right for the calls list in FO mode. But it is not possible to edit before call from the contacts list. |

Absolutely. I use UIQ Azure theme. Everything is as I described. |

It's also possible to edit the number before dialing in FC mode. But in this case only the jog dial works and again there is no cursor so you have to guess where you are.
The ONLY way to see the cursor is in fo mode and by tapping on the number with the stylus, after that the jog dial can move the cursor around.
Does anyone have a list of SE programmers  So that no one makes the mistake of hiring those incompetents masquerading as programmers...

Please check if it is documented correctly and confirm at the bottom.

close & restart the seus app, remove and reinsert the battery and start over and it should work.
if not, repeat a/m steps.

I use the default SE theme, so the fact that I can't see the cursor in FC mode means SE needs to do some work on this.

Same here. "Edit before call" is very limited in FC mode. Cursor keys do not work. Erase key and jog wheel is working. Jog wheel down will move invisible cursor to the end of the number and jog wheel up towards the beginning.

Not true. Just use left arrow button and "voila", which means by the default the cursor is at the end of the number. |
