You can also follow the steps below to access the phone dialer:
• To access the dialer, tap on Start>Settings>Control Panel.
• Tap on the Wireless WAN icon, and then tap on the Voice tab.

commands which allow you to manage your phone contacts, view your phone history, and

connection may not succeed because ActiveSync has trouble connecting at non-
default baud rates.
To work around this problem, set the ActiveSync baud rate on the desktop to use the
same baud rate as the device. You can set the baud rate by editing the registry on the
desktop host computer, as detailed in the steps outlined at the following website:
