Speed Dial Old School (SDOS)
This application (paid version) works with the built in dialer to provide up to 99 speed dial numbers.
It is developed by Maplekey Company LLC and costs one dollar through the Android Market. Application Page
How it works
Once installed you will find the application icon in your application tray.
Tapping on the icon brings up the main menu:
Add A Number
Select Add a number
Complete the fields using a number from 0-99. This screen allows you to add a number to your speed dial that is not in your contact list.
Add A Contact
Select Add a contact from the SDOS main menu and you be taken to yoru contact list to pick a contact to add.
Show Numbers
Select Show numbers to display all of your speed dial numbers.
Tapping on a number in the list gives you the option to delete it.
Dialing Your Numbers
To use the numbers you program into SDOS you enter the number using the dialer and then press call. Long pressing a number does not dial with the exception of the number 1 calling your voice mail, which is built into the phone.
Speed Dial Old School is convenient and works well.
Customer Service
I installed the lite version of this app to test it. The lite version allows only one speed dial entry attached to the number 5. I liked it and wanted the full version, but could not find it in the Android Market. Because some applications require a higher version of Android I checked the MapleKey Company web site and taht the application would work on Android 1.5.
At this point I e-mailed Maplekey at the feedback address listed in their web site. After exchanging a few e-mails with them SDOS was visible in the market to my Backflip. Thanks, Steve!
That's excellent service to make a $1 sale. A sale that I still had 24 hours to back out of.
Summary
Speed Dial Old School is an application that does exactly what it is supposed to and does it well. Coupled with the excellent customer service I got from the developer and I can definitely recommend Speed Dial Old School to Backflip users.
