After writing an SMS, I'm presented with the Number screen. I then have to move the joystick left to access the options screen, to access the phonebook (option 1). Then I need to FIND the name of the person I want to send the SMS to by entering the name via multitap.

Is anyone annoyed by this? This method of sending SMS is so slow and cumbersome. Is there a way for me to skip the NUMBER screen and go straight to the find contact screen? That's how NOKIA does it, right?

The options screen where I have to choose between phone book, groups, sim entries and unsaved no.s is a waste of time.

I think there's no way that you cannot encounter Number screen

I have to say that this is the gayest part of the t68i (dunno if it is in other phones). What retard at thought it was a good idea to design it like this?

The only workaround I have seen is to create single user groups for your 10 most popular contacts. I.e. I have a group called "James" which only has the mobile number for my mate James in it. Then I go to send a message, press left, select groups, select james and then send. Like I said you can have up to 10 groups so you can have your 10 bestest friends!

Regards,

Phil.
