Blackberry has a full QWERTY keyboard. That means that phone dial pad does not have 2(ABC) 3(DEF) 4(GHI) markings (it does not have 3 letters written under each number).
My question is, how can I dial a phone number if I am given the number in the form of a word. For example, how will I dial 1-800-COMCAST using my blackberry
^^ You mean Treo's keyboard does not have this problem ??
The keypad will not show that but if you launch Phone App (which you will use to dial a number anyway) it will show you the 2-ABC 3-DEF type pad on screen.
I hope I am understanding the question correctly; you want to dial letters as numbers on your Blackberry, correct?
I learned how to do this a while back, dial 1-800 (or whatever your prefix is) and then hold down the ALT key with the corresponding letters. They will magically turn into numbers.
If I am answering a completely unrelated question, I apologize. I was too lazy to try and make sense of the entire thread..
