I had an O2 WinMo phone once and I have to say there was one feature I really liked on it.

When I searched for a contact, all I needed to do was to hit my numpad once for each alphabet in my search string.

For example, to search for “Alan”, I’d type “2526″. It was really convenient and I missed that feature on the other phones I’ve had since then until I came across Wysie Soh’s NubDial for Android.

It’s only for Android 2.x phones right now and it’s still rather sluggish. But it’s perfectly usable and I’d recommend it to anyone.
