One basic query,
If I have to call up a person from the Phone book by name, the default number showing up will be his mobile number. But if I want to call up hi home number is there is any short cuts, other than opening the contact, scrolling down to home number and calling it ?
(Basically any way to avoid opening the contact and scrolling to the home/other phone entry)

eg. Like SE phone, the joy stick takes you through the different numbers for the same person.
Thankx in advance,

    Anonymous, 24 Sep 2009which phone is the best Samsung S3500 or Nokia 5130bro can u name any phone having these specs at the same price or even @2k more.....

    at 5.3k u'll get:

    2.2 inch screen + 1 crore 60 lakh colours + 320*240 video recording resolution + excellent 2mp camera + QVGA video recording + premuim brushed mettalic body

    u dont find these fetures in any other phone at its price or even if u pay rs2000 or 2500 more....(check urself)

    apart form its awesome specs.....
    other great features of s3500 are:

    Multiple Alarm: There are five alarm slots available on the Samsung S3500 and additional ones can be created if needed. Each of them can have its own snooze time, number of repetitions and activation days. The volume can also be different for each alarm. Furthermore, you can set different tones for each of the alarms and you can choose whether it should trigger phone vibration.

    Calendars - Calendar Function is awesome in this phone. It have all Indian Holidays marked. If there is a public holiday (date) it will show a icon below and when u click button, it will show you which holiday it is.

    PRIVACY LOCK: Locking function is also very good where you can lock ur Messages, call log, phonebook, ur files (pics, videos, games etc), calender, memo, task etc...watever u want. really a unique function...

    BLOCK Calls n Sms's: u can block calls as well as sms.

    "Flight mode"

    "USB charging"

    "bluetooth security"
    when u connect other phones through bluetooth it ask for a passcode....it really enhance ur phone secutity bcoz of this ur phone can not be hack through any hacking tool.

    another awesome feature is when you connect through Bluetooth to any other device you can take a control of that phone as all files and folders of other connected phone are displayed on S3500. You can take whichever files you want without bothering other person.

    "Fm recording" n the best part is the audio quality of recorded clip is shockingly loud n crystal clear n can save unlimited no. of stations.

    "call recording"
    crystal clear call recording n the other person on call will not hear any annoying beep.

    "Fake Call function" this feature enables you to activate a bogus incoming call, so you can free yourself from awkward conversations or dodgy situations by pretending to take a call. For added authenticity, you can record your own or ur friends fake voice "call" that plays back when you answer.

    Menu transition effect
    if u seen latest aamir khan's samsung ad then u wud probably knw wat i m talking bout...wenever u press a button the screen slides from right to left....it looka awesome...u can also change ur transition effect.

    "MOBILE TRACKER 2.0"
    Mobile tracker automatically sends an SMS message to a pre-designated number alerting you when your phone’s SIM card is changed, increasing your chances of recovering a lost or stolen mobile phone.

    "SOS FUNCTION"
    in an emergency jus press either end of the volume key 4 times when the phone is closed. this will send the SOS message to ur selected recipients. if they call u back their call will be automatically connected. its definately a life saving feature.

    Message alert repetition: it will alert u in evry 2 min if there is an unread mes on ur phone....u can put it off too.

    keypad lights automatically set according to day night usage or according to ur custom usage dont have to on or off it manually.

    have all the features which only a music phone possess....n music player is shockingly loud n clear.

    "Random Wallpaper Effect"
    very intresting feature...wenever u use ur mobile n came back to standby....it will welcome u with diffrent wallpapers of ur choice each time.(to know more read earlier reviews)

    "smart dialling"

    "SMS ZOOM Function"

    cam cover: cam is not at the back of fone....it is inbetween the slide so slide act as a cam cover...protect lens from scratches, dust n all.

    can change DEFAULT MEMORY setting: u can change default memory settings of bluetooth, wap downloads, camera, camcorder, voice recorder, fm radio etc from phone mem to memory card.
    for ex: now when u transfer any file through bluetooth or click a pic, or record a radio clip they'll b directly stored in ur mem card.

    Awesome file management:
    The functionality of the file browser is one of the best among non-smartphones. You can copy or move files - both one by one or in bulk, and you can create and delete new folders (save for the basic ones). Files can also be sent via Bluetooth one by one or multiple at once. Throughout the whole file manager, you can pick files you would like to lock to prevent accidental deletion. The whole file navigation thingy is really quick with no lags whatsoever.

    apart from these there are a lot more features like "THEME CREATOR" or BLUETOOTH MESSAGING (chat/sms through bluetooth free of cost) ....the list is endless.....we r still exploring.....

    s3500 is a "ALLROUNDER" phone
    cheers :)

    bro jus compare urself u cant find any phone having even half of these features in the same price range...
    do i need to say more i think the specs n features say it all....
