    How to make a phone call faster?

    I've been searching the forum for a whole day but I couldn't find a solution. On a Nokia N900, when we need to make a phone call we have to pick a number and then it gives you some options like phone, send a message ... Is there anyway to skip this step in order to make a call faster? it's so annoying because I have to make many phone calls during the day. Thank you very much.

    If you're trying to just get directly to the dialing pad from the desktop, I believe that it was discussed earlier & determined that it can't be done.

    I have found that the fastest way is to place on the desktop the shortcut "Phone", which has a button for the dialing pad when it comes up.

    It is two steps instead of one, but the closest I've been able to make it.

    Thank for your help. I read the threads but it's too complicated for a newbie like me. If someone can create an app or a command line that can disable the "send sms" option. So when you pick a number in the contact list it will call that number instantly instead of giving you options to call or text. That would be very helpful.

    There is no way to change this behavior. The contacts application is closed
    source and can not be modified.

    There is an application for creating special desktop shortcuts
    (like instant call shortcuts):
