How do I Put a Number in Speed Dial
From TreoCentral
Overview
If you're like me, you want to be able to call someone quickly. Speed Dial sure is the fast way to accomplish this. I'd rather just have to press one button to make a call anyday than have to remember a number or look it up in Contacts. We'll look at how to set up your Speed Dial on a couple of Palm OS Treos here. The instructions are per the Palm User Guides that came with the Treos I have.
