Umm, the only thing I can think off the top of my mind is a bluetooth keyboard.
Either that, or add the contacts to the desktop?

I would love to know the answer to this too, a solution would be to have an applet that evoked the keybord. solving this would allow me (when the n900 has a portrait keyboard) to call contacts with one hand.

You should place a Contacts shortcut on your desktop 
And/or a Phone shortcut, for your recent calls
Edit: you still have to scroll.. but it's a solution
Edit2: also, check this thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=55647, maybe useful brainstorm?

you can lock the phone app to portrait only so you can use the rolodex style alphabet

I know, how did this slip through. I can't have the phone in portrait in the car as I want to be able to play music.

i mean you can fix the orientation of JUST the phone app, everything else would still be landscape. not optimal but helps a little

find this anoying also.
have the phone in landscape with the kickstand. tried to select a contact and had to scroll to get to a contact, rather than shortcut with the letters on the side...
the crazy thing is the fact that there is a bunch more screen realestate for the letters to be there.
it would (in my opinion) be great to have the letter shortcuts for:
a) when n900 is in kickstand mode (eating,studying, etc..)
b) when the n900 is in a car holder ( as someone else mentioned)
Is this possible to change? or is it closed source? Feature request? or Bug?
looking forward "optamistacly" to a resolution.
p.s. too lazy to spellcheck

I need Help
Has anyone found an easy way to find and dial a contact when the phone is in landscape and is locked into a car holder so the hardware keyboard is not available? If anyone has a solution I would be very grateful if you could share it with me.
It’s driving me crazy because its making finding a contact while driving impossible.
Regards
Gary
