Default dialing from contacts

I've been using my Artemis for a week right now, and I must say I love the overall system !
One thing looks crappy to me: contacts.
I find it very difficult to dial using one hand only (expecially when driving).
I have hundreds of contacts (will be thousands in the near future)... figure it out using it from my car with no stylus looking for Doe, John:
- tap on contacts
- tap twice on "CDE" ... oh.. why is so damn small ?
- use the wheel to reach Doe, John
- press the blue button twice ... oh again ... this thing works as a joystick, and if not pressed correctly you will call your old aunt Dorothy in place of mr Doe !

So, I'm kindly asking to you WM5 gurus:
- is there an alternative way of doing all this process (keep in mind thousand contacts, so dont't tell me to use voice recognition)
or
- is there a way to make the "#ab","cde","fgh" buttons bigger ?
- disable the joystick feature and use just the wheel ?

Thanks in advance,
G.

There is the "Intellidial" on the phone pad that allows you to dial Doe with just 3 presses of the phone keys Press the green button to go into phone function. Press on 3,6,3 successively. Even before you complete this, the name would be shown on the screen. If there are more than one number stored under this name you can use the scrollball left-right to see them. After this just press the scroll ball to dial. Simple.

It would save you a lot of heartache (and less "spam"onthis site) if you would take some time to search and read this and other forums
