From the home screen or main menu, it's simple to make calls either by tapping the onscreen phonebook or keypad buttons, as appropriate, or selecting your recent call log by tapping the Call button beneath the display.
You can dial using the slide-out keyboard too, tapping the top row number buttons in standby.
The phonebook can be browsed with a speed-scrolling tab that enables you to jump through contacts by initial letter, or you can tap in names using the (real or soft) keyboard in a similar way to the LG Intouch Max GW620.
There are multiple fields for contact details in the phonebook which provide for a variety of work and personal information to be added.
