Using stored contact information, you can quickly communicate with a contact by phone, text message, or email:
1 From the Browse Contacts screen, highlight the name of the contact with whom you wish to communicate.
2 Press and hold the wheel to open the context menu. Scroll to highlight one of the following, then press to
initiate the highlighted action:
• <Label><phone number> - to switch to the Phone application and place a call to your contact
• Email <address> - to switch to Email and compose an email to that contact
• Send Text Message <phone number> - to switch to the Phone Messages application and compose a text
message to send to that contact
• Go to <URL>- to switch to the Web Browser application and open the contact’s Web page
• Look up <address> - to switch to the Web Browser application and open a map to the address
3 You can also bring up the context menu while in the contact’s information screen. Highlight a number or
address then press and hold the wheel. If you open this context menu from a specific entry, you’ll also have
the option to discard the information.
You can always use menu items to perform these actions from the contact information screen, assuming you
have the relevant contact information highlighted when opening the menu.
