will appear on the left side of the
entry box.
Tips on using Smart Dialing
Smart Dialing starts looking for numbers or contacts that match the
sequence you have entered. Below are some tips on how to use Smart
Dialing to quickly find a desired phone number or contact.
To find a phone number
• Simply enter the first one or two digits to find a phone number in Call
History.
• Enter the first three digits or more if you want to find a phone number
from the saved contacts on your device and SIM card.
To find a contact name
You can just enter the first letter of a contact’s first name or last name.
Smart Dialing will search for the letter starting from the first character of a
contact name as well as from the character that appears after a space, dash,
or underscore in a contact name. For example, if you tap number “2” which
is associated with [a, b, c] on the Phone keypad, contact names such as the
following will be considered matches: “Ben Miller”, “George Adams”, “JohnCarter”, “Carter, Ellen”, “Dixon, Allan”, “Thomas_Clark”, “JaneCampbell”.
If the matching list is long and you want to narrow down the search further,
enter another letter. Using the same example above, if you continue to
tap “3” which is associated with [d, e, f], the matching list will be narrowed
down to the following names: “Ben Miller”, “George Adams”, “Carter, Ellen”,
“Dixon, Allan”.

6.1 Managing Your Phonebook
Your T-Mobile Wing gives you several ways to store and manage phone
numbers and other information about your contacts.
• Use Contacts to create and save contacts on your T-Mobile Wing’s
memory or your SIM card.
• Use SIM Manager to store and manage SIM contacts.
6.2 Contacts
Contacts is your address book and information storage for the people and
businesses you communicate with. There are three types of contacts that
you can create on your device:
• Outlook contacts. Contacts that are stored on your device, which
can be created on your device or synchronized with your PC or the
Exchange Server. For each contact, you can store phone numbers,
e-mail addresses, instant messaging (IM) names, company and home
addresses, and information such as a job title, birthday, and a lot
more. You can also add a picture and assign a ring tone to an Outlook
contact.
• SIM contacts. Contacts that are stored on the SIM card. Only the
name and a phone number can be stored for each entry.
• Windows Live contacts. Contacts that you communicate with using
Windows Live Messenger or MSN. Just like Outlook contacts, you can
also enter complete information for a Windows Live contact. For more
information, see “Add Windows Live contacts” in Chapter 9.
