I find it frustrating sometimes (actually everytime), that I have to press multiple 'buttons' to make a phone call - even with the contact widget.

Can someone develop a (phone) call button tagged to the contacts on the 'phone' screen (sorry, I couldn't take a snapshot). It's really dumb to have other options below when we specifically pressed the call 'button'.
-(phone) call
-sms
-Merge with contact
-New contact

If I wanted sms, I would have used the sms button, and contact button for 'Merge with Contact'/'New Contact'.

Do we already have something to resolve this issue? Or am I the only lazy user to expect less steps to make a phone call?

Thanks. I've installed K9 - didn't solve what I was expecting, but I'm keeping it.

You can also run an easy script from a QBW that can make a call to a contact you set up on a desktop. Is this what you are after? If so, I can post some instructions.

Yes, that'll be nice. By the way, I'm not familiar with the x-terminal stuffs, so you may need be very detailed for the step by step. Appreciate it.

Here is the script to put into Queen Beecon to dial a contact.

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.csd.Call /com/nokia/csd/call com.nokia.csd.Call.CreateWith string:"$NUMBER" uint32:0

Change $NUMBER to phone number you want to call.

Check the phone control wiki to see if there is anything else you may find useful.
