some valid points. i agree clicking on phone app should open dialing pad directly rather than going through call log. its a basic design problem in n900.

Rather than complaining, heres my input on UI design of phone app.

PHONE APP INTERFACE DESIGN
click on phone app -> dialing pad opens
1: click on call button once (empty string) should open call log
2: call log page should also contain dialled/received/missed call tabs
3: hold a number (2-9) should start speed dialing number
phone app drop down menu -> assign speed dials
4: ussd code functionality be available

except for voice dialing this would put a solid phone app in n900
