1. You read it right folks. The Nokia N8 will have a mechanism to search contacts quickly from the dial-pad.
2. I asked this feature during the N8 Preview KL but it was not confirmed.
3. Thanks to a post at MyNokiaBlog.Com, the final user guide for the N8 is available online and can be downloaded from HERE
4. This is a welcomed additional feature. You dont have to open/launch the Phonebook app. You only need to access the dialler, then type away and the list of matching contacts will be displayed. This is mentioned in the N8 user manual on page 37.
“Search for a contact
You can Search for a Contact you have saved in the contacts list.
In the home screen, select Call, and start entering the contact’s first or second name. When entering the characters, select each number key once for each letter. For example, to search for Nokia, enter 6, 6, 5, 4 and 2”
5. Users who dont like this feature will also be able to switch it off from the Options.
6. What do you think of this feature?
