What an excellent response. It's easy to see that for the most part, it just isn't practical to enter in the entire student bod contact list each quarter/semester/school year. Although, if it were simpler, and if the numbers could stay out of the way of the other numbers on your phone, would you be interested then? Because in your case, I *might* be tempted. If, and only if the the contact list was already in a spreadsheet that was closely formatted to something I could import into the gmail contact as a separate category, then keep that category hidden on your phone most of the time. But if you have to go and enter the names and numbers yourself, I wouldn't do it. Too much trouble.
That was a very long answer and a slight threadjack. I agree, I think a phone like this should be completely and infinitely customizable. If you want the green button to fire up sudoku, or the dialer, then you should be able to do that. I keep on hitting the red button thinking it will take me to the home screen. I don't know why, and I'll bet I'm not the only one who has done that. Perhaps if I had the option to set it that way, I might actually do that.
