I also started reading this thread as a skeptic, thinking this was just some variation of the "dial from home screen" scenario.

This has opened my eyes to the fact that there seem to be some macros programmed into the speed dial keys. I see that the Q shortcut to swap between normal and vibrate profiles is buried in here, too.

This makes me wonder if there might be a solution to a problem I've been having that I'd like to open up to any suggestions...

Here's the scenario: I live in Australia, and use a calling card to make international calls. The calling card requires me to dial a toll-free number, wait for some time, enter my calling card code, and then I'm supposed to dial the phone number of the person I want to call.

Since I use this calling card to dial many different people, I can't program in the entire sequence, or else I'd have to program the entire calling card process + the individual phone numbers for each person I want to call.

What I'd really like is a feature sort of like how "WAIT" works. When I program a "wait" into a phone number, a menu pops up waiting for me to press a key. Wouldn't it be cool if I could program in a "lookup" so that I was presented with my address book and given a chance to select another number to dial.

Any thoughts on how to accomplish something like this? Hope my goal is comprehensible...

Thanks.
