Finger-Friendly Friends (FFF) *Version 1.0: Updated 30/Nov/2007*

[jahnotto]

Tired of the built-in contact list on Kaiser? Well, I was! I was tired of either scrolling or using the stylus to find my contacts. I didn't really like any of the ones I found either, so I made my own -- and here it is! You're the first ones in the world to see it!

The users of the Kaiser forum are hereby invited to early testing of Finger-Friendly Friends and the (soon to be) famous DRMWY-Touch keyboard.

Have fun!

Really good idea ! If you add a way to dial the mobile number directly from the contat list (like if you release your finger in the far right area after selecting a contact) it would be the best smartdialer imo.

Thanks and keep it up !!!

Does not seem to bring up all my contacts for some reason.

[davidphtsui]

The small 'more' button above the keyboard only brings up details of the bottom contact rather than displaying other contacts matching the search criteria.

Hm, I noticed the same when I tried to download with FireFox. Try to download using Internet Explorer. It seems like the web server server is confusing file types.
