I'd love the iphone to have a smart dialer in the built-in dial pad. Once you dial a number or two, the dialer learns from your contacts who you are dialing, so you can just select it from the list. Start dialing area code 856, when you get to the "5", the program figures out who the 8-5- people are.

Kate has it, but I don't want to pay $45 for it(i know Kate has other aspects, but most of them I have already with Intelliscreen). Used to have an app like this on my Treo called "TAKEphone"

I thought, IIRC, I had something similar to this on a Nokia I had at one point in time. Maybe the Nokia N73. I think I'd start spelling their name, and it'd narrow down the search via the contacts. I used it a lot.

Cool thing was that I could do it without looking at the keypad/phone. Had it setup with 'quick keys'.

Great idea for an iPhone app. Maybe get to it via assigning it to the Home button shortcut (like you already can do via settings, or like Intelliscreen works). I bet either of the methods would fly for the App Store.

I'd pay for it!

Anyone? Anyone? Buehler? Buehler?

Would throw a few bucks out for it, as well! Hint hint.

Hi all,

I am happy to say that an iPhone version of the TAKEphONE application is already pending for review & approval for the AppStore.

thank God. I do hope its free

hey guys, doesn't QuickGold allow one to do this?

[aayman_farzand]

I didnt know about that, just tried it out. Its a great app, but its not the one we are looking for. You know how to use T9 right? Well in some phones you can use T9 to write the contact's name, and then dial. Makes the process a lot faster, this one's good too though. Thanks for pointing it out

thought so. It does replace the default Dialer completely right? or do i have to launch a Takephone application, then search for contacts? I'm asking cause its an official app, not sure if Apple would allow replacing of the default Dialer

Shimon,

When is word on approval expected? Can't wait for it!

[hokiepark]

Any word on this? All my Windows Mobile phones had this functionality. I miss it.

Hi all,

Still "in review"...

Maybe you guys can email Apple ?

[sziklassy]

would be nice but I think it would have to be done by apple... apple MIGHT allow an app to be launched which will do this but I doubt they will allow their native dialer to be overwritten. Having to launch an app to do this is pointless, at least in my opinion.

[Shinner23]

anything new on this?
