Default [Q] Does the Galaxy Nexus have Smart Dialling?

Hi

Does the galaxy havesmart dialing?

It is one of the things i loved about my Sensation. i could start typing a few letters (numbers) and all the coressponding contacts were shown.

from what i can see from all the videos this may not be possible in stock android 4.0?

Can anyone relay my fears

i have tried it in the emulator.

it will not work under the dialer itself.

however it will work under the search bar.

when you start to type the number under the search, it will appear all the related contacts.

You can always use a 3rd party app such as Dialer One or TouchPal Dialer (free on the market) which has the feature you desire.

You can export your contacts from Google contacts as a csv-file. That file can be imported in the app.

Android SDK

Takes about 10-15 mins to get up and running purely dependent on connection of course. But emulator takes few mins to boot and is really sluggish. Still no clue how anyone develops on that.

I made myself as a contact..dialer did not show what you asked. But unless I get full contact list in there cant say for sure. But the layout itself doesnt seem appropriate for it.

This is one of my concerns aswell, I love the smart dial feature on the HTC dialer and heavily rely on it. I don't want to have to get an alternate dialer I want a nice clean pure android experience.
