Dear RIM,
When you're in your call log, you're most likely trying to call somebody. But when you press Menu, the menu option is "Call From Contacts"... why?!
First of all, it's not even clear what it means. I used to think it meant to call that person, but from your phone book (which didn't make that much sense, but wasn't entirely inconsistent with the BlackBerry Experience). What it actually does is goes to your address book and allows you to select somebody from there. Well, this is also an issue because a) all you have to do is hit End and then start typing in the name of the person you want to call (less is more:when there's a major, easy way to do something, why provide an obscure, confusing way?) and thus b) "Call From Contacts" is just cluttering the menu unnecessarily.
Sincerely,

"Call from Contacts" means go to your address book. The regular call (which would be a submenu option of Contact NAME) will place the call directly. I also find this extremely useful when I go to recent calls and realize the person I am looking for is not there.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that's as unclear as everything else that is wrong with blackberry.
Thanks EJB, correction noted.
