Phone application

From TreoCentral

The addition of the phone application is what Handspring pioneered in the Treo 180 and helped define the term smartphone.

With the PalmOS phone application, you have a number of options after pressing the menu key:

• Record
  • New Contact - lets you create a new entry in the Contacts database
  • Edit Favorites Button - lets you change the application assigned to an entry in the Favorites
  • Edit Favorites Pages - allows you to change the order and placement of entries on the Favorites pages much like the way you do it in Blazer
  • Beam Business Card - If you have an entry in your Contacts that you have marked as your business card, this options will send that entry to another device through the IR port
• Options
  • Phone Display Options - on this page you can select whether you want to see the dial pad or Wallpaper, set your preferences on what happens when you start typing, whether or not to show Calendar events, and the number of Favorites rows to display
  • Sound Preferences - set ringtones and volume to use via the Prefs application
  • Phone Preferences - set call forwarding on or off, emergency services location feature on or off, short or long DMTF tones, clear the voicemail icon, TTY/TDD on or off, and whether or not to prompt you to enter a new Contacts entry when an unrecognized phone number calls you
  • Dial Preferences - defaults for making international calls and prefixes for local exchange calls
  • System Preferences - runs the Prefs application
  • Roaming Preferences - options for when the phone is roaming
  • Phone Lock - options for the Phone lock capability
  • Phone Info - phone and carrier details including the version of the firmware (operating system) you are running.
