Go Contacts EX There are dozens of dialer apps in the Android Market. Actually, that’s a lie: I’ve found nine. The best I’ve tried is the dialer component of Contacts EX from the Go Developer Team, one of the most consistently impressive and reliable bunch of coders for the Android platform. Download Go Contacts EX and you end up with two …
Good, a dialer that lets you search by partial phone number (not just the start of the number like the HTC one) So if you know the last 3 digits of someone's number you can enter that, or if you type someone's local number without the area code, you can dial that to find the correct entry)
However, i've not seen a way to select which number it will dial if a person has more than one number associated (moblile/work/home) At least I can't see how to do it. This is a bit of a deal breaker for me.
If you're entering the last 3 digits, it will only bring up a single number - or as many as it matches from all your contacts.
If you enter a name, as shown above, all the numbers of that person are shown.
To use the last 3 digits method, go to the Contacts tab, enter the last 3 digits, of say the home number, long press the name and "View Contact" and then you can dial any of their other numbers at a single press.
I've had this for 7 months on a SG-S2 - very easy.
and it runs on my Venerable HTC Hero running CM7 based Elelinux. I had tried a couple of dialers but none, until Go Contacts, had the thing I missed from Sense - matching on numbers and names from the dialpad. So, dialing 742 will bring up numbers starting 742 and contacts starting Ric ("Richard", for example). Brilliant.
