Working with contacts
The iPhone (left) and Palm Pre (right) both display contacts cleanly and allow for fast navigation. On the Pre, type a letter on the keyboard to jump to contacts whose first or last name contains that letter. On the Phone, tap the letter list on the window's right side to jump to entries whose last name begins with the letter. Both devices let you search your contacts, but on the iPhone, the virtual keyboard does cramp the search results.
