Favorites

Consider Favorites the iPhone equivalent of speed-dialing. It's where you can keep a list of the people and numbers you dial most often. Merely tap the person's name in favorites, and your iPhone calls the person.

You can set up as many favorites as you need for a person. So, for example, you may create separate Favorites listings for your spouse's office phone number and cell number.

Setting up Favorites is a breeze. When looking at one of your contacts, you may have noticed the add to favorites button. When you tap this button, all the phone numbers you have fot that person pop up. Tap the number you want to make into a favorite and it turns up on the list.

You can rearrange the order in which your favorites are displayed. Tap Edit, and then, to the right of the person you want to move, press your finger against the symbol that looks like three short horizontal lines stacked on top of one another. Drag the symbol to the place on the list where you want your favorite contaxt to appear.

You can designate new favorites from the Favotites application by tapping the + symbol at the upper-right corner of the screen. Doing so brings you back to Contacts. From there, choose the appropriate person and number. A star appears next to any contact's number chosen as a favorite.

If any of your chosen folks happen to fall out of favor, you can easily kick them off the favorites roster. Here's how:

1. Tap the Edit button in the upper-left corner of the screen.
You will notice that a red circle with a horizontal white line appears to the left of each name in the list.

2. Tap the circle next to hte A-lister getting the heave-ho
The horizontal white line is now vertical and a red Delete button appears to the right of the name, as shown in the figure.

3. Tap Delete
The person(or one of his or her given phone numbers) is no longer afforded the privilage of being in your iPhone inner circle.

Booting someone off the favorites list does not remove that person from the main contacts list.
