Thanks for pointing out the dial pad. I'd never noticed it before. I still agree that the days of assuming everyone can access a phone with the correct letters and numbers matched up are over. Whoa!

Sometimes it is really fun, for example: if I dial 1-800-PICK-UPS the screen will say "18008*" Oh well, the price we pay to be able to type a message quickly on our phones. @Aaron – The Blackjack II has a full QWERTY keyboard.

I did however discover recently that my Treo has a touchscreen dial pad feature that shows the corresponding letters on the numbers. It is still a pain in the butt.

Ryan Wankel</a> - Thanks for the comment, Ryan. Does the Blackjack II have a full keyboard like the Treo or does it have the keyboard with multiple letters on the same key? That poses a more serious problem, as someone entering numbers based on a non-standard keyboard layout may actually call the wrong person! @Col. Ryan Wankel -

That process sure doesn't work on a Treo or Q. Mr. Wankel reports it doesn't work on a Blackjack. @Nick Mallare -

I have tried many times and usually have to pick up a landline to figure out the numbers. I have a Samsung Blackjack II and it won’t translate the numbers.
