What if you want to quickly call your best friend, your spouse, your lawyer, one of your children, or your weekly tennis partner? Scrolling through hundreds of contacts to find their phone numbers can be unwieldy and a waste of your time.
That’s where the Favorites list comes in. Think of it as the Droid’s speed dial. The Droid puts people on the list based on how often you communicate with them.
Tap the green phone icon to call the person. To contact her in other ways, like email, text messaging, and so on, tap her name, and the Contact screen gives you myriad ways to keep in touch.
Tap the person’s picture or icon, and get a menu of options for calling, emailing, or texting.
To add someone as a Favorite, open the contact and tap the grayed-out star next to his name. The star turns red, and the person shows up in the top section of your Favorites list, above the “Frequently contacted” area.
