Itīs hardly THAT slow when you auto rotate it, and itīs quite useful to be able to quickly send a sms OR call the person you have in the latest call log or in contacts, but I guess thatīs a personal preference Probably possible to tweak the speed of the animation, any handy person that knows the answer to that? About scrolling through contacts, you know that you can just type in the first letters of that persons name and it pops right up? Or use the A-Z sidelist? I got over 400 people in mine and I donīt complain, I rather salute em for the multiple ways of finding people faster then ever.
