Quick Contacts is the ultimate speed dialing application for your Palm Pre.
With Quick Contacts, you can call all of your favorite contacts with just a few taps on your screen and never even slide open your keyboard. Add your friend to Quick Contacts, tap on their hotspot and it will give you their details so you can choose their number to dial.
Want it to be even quicker? Set up a preferred number for each contact and the next time you tap on their hotspot, Quick Contacts will take you straight to the dialer.
And if your friend has a picture associated with them, their hotspot will be their picture. That will make calling your favorites very easy.
Once you start using Quick Contacts, you'll wonder how you used your phone without it.

But if you do decide to donate a minimum of $5.00 before it hits the App Catalog, I'll give you lifetime updates to Quick Contacts, even after it has been released to the App Catalog. That includes all of you who have already donated too.
Thanks for everyone's great feedback and I'll keep improving Quick Contacts to better for you.
Palm requires all releases on PreCentral to now be beta versions for testing! This version will expire 14 days after you first use it unless you have donated at least $5 to receive free updates for life. If you have donated, I will contact you to give you instructions so that it will not expire.
