Although it's easy to find your contacts using the phonebook on your Nokia N8, it's a lot easier to keep your favourite contacts on speed dial – with the ability to ring your friends simply by pressing and holding 1-9. To find out how to add a contact to speed dial, join us after the break...

Ringing one of your friends using speed dial is easy – you can assign a number to nine of your friends, and then simply bring up the onscreen keyboard, hold down one of the numbers and your Nokia N8 will ring that person.

 

To set up speed dialling, press the menu button, and then press Settings. Click on Calling, and then it's a simple case of pressing Speed Dialling. This brings up the number 1-9, in a large onscreen keypad.

 

Pick the number you want to assign a contact to, and this will bring up your contacts list. Pick a person, and they'll appear where the number was. Once you've finished, press the menu or back button to exit.

 

To use speed dial, press call to bring up the onscreen keyboard, pick the number of the friend you want to ring, and then hold that number until the phone starts to ring. Easy!

    I have a question, in the past it was possible to put the speed-dial setup page (/view) as a shortcut on the homescreen (5800XPM) but on the N8 this does not seam to be working.

    It’s too bad because that way you could see the picture of the person you wanted to call or sms right the on the button.

    Any suggestions??

    Re to myself:

    I found an app in the Ovi store calles speed dialer that does just what I was missing since moving from 5800XM to the N8. Opening the speed dialer as a shortcut frome the homescreen.

    One short klick = call standart number
    longe push = drop down menue for videocall, sms etc.

    just what I was looking for and for 9 Favs way better than the nokia own homescreen widget.
