I love my Treo 650, but...

I needed to my online investment bank's customer service center, which was given on its website in the form of "800-555-CALL", one of those supposedly helpful mnemonic phone numbers with letters corresponding to digits. Well, my Treo 650 smartphone has a QWERTY keyboard with a digit keypad superimposed on the left side of the board, no 3-letter-to-single-digit DTMF tonepad overlay. I had to dig an old phone out of my "sell on eBay" box to puzzle out my bank's phone number, since they didn't provide a digits-only version of that number.

Ahhh, but that's where you're mistaken... The 650 does actually have the letters available for your perusal. Turn the phone on, and press the send button, this brings up a display of buttons that have the letters below the numbers. You can then dial away!

What you can do is enable the touch screen dialing, and then you can see the corresponding letters.
