I have recently flashed my ASUS P525 from original WM5 to WM6 - ViVi's.
Unfortunalty I couldn't set up one very important feature - SPEED DIAL by holding the number 1 key on the h/w keyboard.
I've searched through all internet and found nothing that would work.

The only anwser provided was:
SETTINGS -> PHONE -> SERVICES -> VOICE MAIL -> And change the number there to your desire (it worked for me on WM5 but not on WM6) or...
registry -> HKCU -> Software -> Microsoft ->Vmail -> PhoneNumber1 and set it to the desired number.

Unfortunately both of these resolutions failed to work on my system...
But... Don't worry !

The solution is:

Set up the desired Speed dial - like other usual speed dials (on my p525 WM6 It's either through contacts:
Contacts -> click on the desired contact -> menu -> Add to Speed Dial
and set it to whatever location (we will change it later) -> OK -> OK

Download and transfer to the PDA/phone a program called DBNavigator (the one for Windows Mobile 5 works for WM6 as well)

Open DBNavigator on the PDA and:
expand EDB Databases
expand pim.vol
expand speed.db

There will be records with numbers eg.:
0x40416000
0x40416001
0x40416002

Click on them to find out which one is the one that you want to assign to SPEED DIAL #1 - There will be description like:
0x0007001F - "Contact name"

If you found the record with the desired description you need to edit the key
0x00020002 -
which is responsible for the hardware key that you push to get the speed dial.
Value of this record is in HEX but you don't need to worry about it as you only need to change it to:
0x0001 - h/w key number one - usually/ALLWAYS voice mail

To change it you just click on the key name 0x00020002 and you will get dialog box:
PropValue:

put there:
0001

And you're home !

Now when you go to Speed dials you should see Speed DIAL 1 which you can edit just like other normal speed dials !


Enjoy.

I know this is an old thread, but it's the ONLY one I found that actually helped me SOLVE the issue of not having the 1 key dial my voicemail. I lost the ability one day after I had problems with one of my email accounts syncing properly. I had assigned my voicemail to a different speed dial, but it just bugged me so bad that it wasn't right...

SO, THANK YOU!!!

PS for others who need to do this on a smartphone rahter than a PPC - this db viewer is intended to run on a touchscreen device, but if you download and use a program called Mymobiler you can run it from your desktop PC while connected to your phone. that's what I had to do but it WORKED!!

YaY!

Me too, thanks very much for this -- it was driving me crazy but works like a charm as instructed on my Tilt2.

This worked for me! I was trying to change the default number that T-Mobile assigns and wont allow you to change. I had to delete the entry for the voicemail and assign my Google voice contact as number 1.
