Comments on: Gx5 DialByPhoto Review

FWIW - I set DialByPhoto to launch the original Phone app with a second tap of the phone hardkey. I then set the original phone app's default screen view to 'favorites'. Finally, I set the favorites to frequently used apps and boring work contacts.

So, I can enjoy the superior user experience of DialByPhoto, and still get access to favorites with a second (or two, if I'm not in phone mode) tap.

Very convenient so far...

Thanks for the good review. I agree with your assessments on this app. I like it and I bought it. The enhanced look is worth the price of admission. But there are a few issues. The one's you brought up are valid. Especially having to use the 5 way to get anywhere. The options are generally too small to get to with a thumb and that is a problem.

The second issue is that when something is selected it turns yellow. That is great indoors but if you are outside or in the car, forget it. I have no idea what is selected because it is small and I can't see it in the outside light. They need to work on daylight visibility.

Finally, my only other beef is that if I copy a phone number from an email or out of a calendar appointment, I can't go to the dial screen and hit the menu button and choose paste like I can in the standard phone app. That means I have to hit the phone button twice and go to the built in phone application.

Awesome app! Everything works flawlessly. Takes the boringPalm look to a new level.
