You can add a picture to show up when your mate is calling .. dunno if it stays there when you take the call though!

Search for SmartFace topics...

i does stay while you are talking...

If you know any html you can even make your own contacts list... with pictures.. click the picture and you call the contact..

It's pretty cool...

All you have to do is making the picture a hyperlink...

You can ofcourse also just make it with text... if you wanted to call a number that was: 12345678 it should look like this in a html document:

<a href="tel:12345678">Call Someone</a>

that would look like this in the smartphone IE Call Someone

Thanks for thre replies.

But how to add picture to the phone number so that when that person is calling SPV can pop up the picture

[Guest MoRFLeZ]

You need a program called SmartFace .. you can download it from the Sotfware section...

The thread explains how you set it up. It's really. Basically you just create a folder on your Storage Card called 'pict' and name the pictures you want to use the callers phonenumber. Example:

+4512345678 (or whatever)

And voila!

You see, people don't even notice when you tell them about tel tags!!

Just a quick question about making your own contact list. Can you explain how that is done in just a little more depth cause that would be well cool. Cheers.

Have you ever used HTML?

If not use a program like FrontPage.. its fine when its things like this..Nomather what you HTML, CSS, ASP kings is saying :)

If you use Frontpage, all you have to do is add a picture to your document--> Rightclick it an choose Hyperlink---> in the URL line write "tel:12345678" (Without the "")(and of course change the number to the contact who is on the picture)

Save the document to a folder.. (name it what you want) You can make som design to if you want..

Use Explorer in active Sync to move the folder to you card.. I think it is possible to make a short cut of the .htm file to accesories... then you can make a speed dail (Lets say 3)

Then when you press and hold 3 the site will show, and you can mark and click the picture.. Then it ask you if you want to dail the number and you press yes ;)

Thats all there is to it.. :)

This should work, but i haven't tried the shortcut and speeddail thing :D

Remember to design the list so it fits the smartphone display ;)

I've just developed a picture phonebook as it were using the "tel:" option and another feature which i've added to make it slightly more effective is to use the quick access numbers in the html similar to what modaco mobile and the orange portal use so that you have quick dial options for the 10 contacts of your choice.

i would post the code but can't remember it off hand and am using the mobile site.
