Perhaps I missed it in the new guide, but is there a way to open and call contacts without opening the keyboard? Can you access contacts and call in portrait mode with touch screen? I understand we can not text yet in portrait mode, but surely something as rock dead basic as this can be done in portrait, since this is how you would use it to make calls.

Please say "yes" and mean it. This would be one of those "obvious" things that will drive a lot of users nuts.

Update: You can NOT access contacts unless opening the KB- this is crazy. You have to start typing, so better than nothing but still a silly option compared to simply allowing contacts to be accessed in the same position you would make the call.

This device is starting to have shades of N-Gage in regards to basic funct.... Heck EVEN the N-Gage allowed contacts more directly.
