Making Phone Calls
The DROID is capable of so many cool things that it's easy to forget that it's also a very
powerful phone. In this chapter, we will cover the many DROID features you would
expect from a high-end smartphone. You can dial by name, save time by using your
recent call logs, dial by voice, use speed dial numbers, and use Basic or Visual
Voicemail features. You can also use your DROID to initiate a conference call among
several people.
You can also customize your phone, message, and other ringtones. You can even set a
custom ringtone for individual contacts in your address book – this is a great way to
know who is calling without looking at your phone. It is easy to use your own music as
ringtones on a DROID, but a little harder to use your own music as custom ringtones for
contacts or text messages. We will show you how to do all these things, and a few more
nice tricks, as well. We will also show you how to purchase ringtones from the Amazon
MP3 and Android Market online stores.

Getting Started with the Phone (Dialer)

Start your phone by using the Phone icon
located at the bottom-left corner of every Home
screen. You can also start the phone by using
the Dialer icon or Phone icon on the original
DROID.
