I guarantee you that it takes less time to setup and speed dial a contact by holding one button on my N95 than it ever will to navigate to the Favorites tab in the Phone application or setup a visual webclips icon on the homescreen.

Aside from that, I also guarantee you’d have difficulty doing any of that with one hand and/or without looking at the device.

And you’re right, webclips is NOT speed dial. Its better than speed dial. You get a visual representation of your speed dial list – not by name but by the contact’s picture.

Calling from my homescreen is way more convenient than speed dial.

Actually, I would consider the favorites list, when combined with the home-button shortcut, a speed-dial solution.

Double tap the home button, hit my desired contact (of which I have two pages worth) and off I go. I can actaully speed dial on my iPhone in less time (although with more button presses) than any of my other phones ( winmo and symbian). Plus I don’t have to memorize my speed dial list – it’s all displayed in the list. A much better speed dial in my opinion.

Where’s that? In the favorites tab of Phone button? That’s not speed dialing and neither is programming a mini-website just to call someone from your home screen.
