Default Favorite/Quick Dial for Captivate?

So my friend has an Eris and she has a quick dialer on one of her homepages with a grid of ppl in a 3x grid that she can click on and dial. Am I missing something or did the Captivate not ship with something similar?

I can add a direct dial shortcut but I was sort of expecting a widget that either captures and displays your Favorites or can be filled in manually.

If that isn't a freeby, can anyone recommend something similar? I REALLY like the Launcher Pro... but I'm not quite ready to buy it if I still have problems syncing the phone with KIES while it's LP is active.

have you tried the 'people' launcher pro widget? its included in launcher pro. you can have it display just your starred in android friends and when you click on their pic, it pops up a quick access menu

Yep I really like the Launcher Pro favorites app. The only reason why I haven't bought it is because it prevents KIES from working, but after reading up here, I don't think I'll need KIES anymore, tho I DO think it's not a bad piece of software for organizing your media and contacts.

Or you can just hold on the blank portion of the home screen and add a contact shortcut works just as well. You can select any one in the contacts list not just favorites.

Yes, you can add a direct dial shortcut to one of the home screens. Also with Launcher Pro you can add a direct dial shortcut to the launcher at the bottom of the screen (where you get the 3 pages of launchers to side scroll through).

Also, you know the stock samsung dialer has 9 speed dial favorites you can set. Just go to the phone dialer app, hit menu and its there under speed dial setting.
