Check out Dialer One.
It has:
Performance - fast!
T9 Search - start typing letters and it narrows your contact list to contacts that fit what you're typing as you type. And it does it fast.
Nice looking UI with several color/format options.
Lots of other settings
Search looks very accurate and inclusive of business and personal names
Able to become default "return to" dialer after calls end (not all dialers do this)
Speed dial!! Assign contacts to 1-9 numbers.
Optional notification bar shortcut
Rotates and fully functional in landscape orientation!
And so on...
In short, haven't found a shortcoming yet...definitely the closest thing to the BB contact search/dialing experience on a Droid that I've ever seen.
Coming in second:
- aContacts not as fast, not as nice a UI, but good, able to be default dialer
- SpellDial - much simpler UI, few features, very fast and easy to use. No speed dial, and can't replace normal dialer as the "return to" program after a phone call.
Give Dialer One a whirl if you're a former BB user and miss the dialing feature, this will fill that void...
Enjoy...
