Hit phone icon, touch the little dots down at the bottom center, will bring up dialer... If you can't figure out the rest I cannot help you lol.

Right and for those red green colorblind they do not see anything that is eye catching
 
Sorry for laughing.:rofl:

But everyone has been in your shoes at one time. There is a learning curve coming from a keypad based phone to an Android touch smart phone.

No red/green - type (dial) the number and hit the phone icon bottom middle.

Alternatively start to type in a contact name eg Dan - 325 and fitting options will show up.
 
Ive had my phone a while now and i still don't understand the logic of it.
Why aren't contacts on the front page to start with so i don't have to scroll to find them.

The simplest way for me is to bring up the dialer and start typing the name of the contact you want. Works OK for me.
 
Anyway to set speed dials from the dialer? Otherwise, seems to be working as everyone says....

Speed dial - where you long press a number on the dialer to call somebody? No - that is not supported on the stock ROM.

But you can add a direct dial contact icon to your home page or a folder instead. Or you can say "ok google. Call John Smith"
