The only way I know of is to pin the contact to the Start page. On the people hub, press and hold a contact and select "pin".
Or you could press and hold the Windows key and just say "Call so-and-so on Mobile/work/home"

I agree. That function of WP7 works outstandingly.

Thank you all for the info

Just curious.
IMO I think it's worthless and redundant. Since I can already tap 'Start' on the touch screen, why do we need a button that accomplishes the same thing? Seems like Windows only added it to remind people that they're using a Windows product They should have used this button for something useful.
Actually, I'm not very fond of any of the buttons on the front since the functionality is redundant. Now if only there was a D-Pad.....
It is my understanding that a hardware start button is a requirement for WM7. This is yet another sign that our phones may be capable of an upgrade to 7.
In answer to the question, no I do not use it!

Hopefully the button will be more useful in WM7.

I noticed on this keyboard remapper that the button is labeled as 'Home'. Regardless of the name, but function appears to be the same.

Negative. On the Tmo TP2, the Home button takes you to the Home tab. It doesn't bring the Start Menu up at all.
I find the hardware key more convenient to access quickly than the upper corner of the screen - probably because of the long reach with my thumb when operating one-handed.
In Spb Mobile Shell, there's a setting to replace the function of the software Start button in the top corner so that it displays Shell's program launcher instead of the Windows Mobile programs.
That's great, but this setting doesn't seem to have any effect on the hardware button. Any thoughts?
Works great to launch QuickLauncher.

Interesting. I guess the TMo version is more useful then the Sprint version.
I try to use the hardware button as it is more convenient for me, but I am so use to hitting the start button on the top of the screen that I find my self doing that more than pressing the actual hardware key. Still trying to untrain myself.
I like that it is there regardless so it doesn't bother me.
As kd8fre said, I think this is there for future upgrades. Probably just getting the phone set up and ready. Because I haven't seen this button for A long time on an HTC device (Diamond, TP, HD...)
Does anyone actually USE the Windows 'Start' hardware button?

Constantly.

Officially, not a hope in hell. WM7 devices must have a capacitive screen and a hardware compass, and the TP2 has neither. Many WM6.1 devices can be upgraded to 6.5; virtually none will officially get 7. There may be some unofficial hacks, of course.
Hello,
On my HTC S710 it was possible to long press the call button when you take on the call, and automaticly get the call into speakermode.
I want to know if the same thing is possible to have on the Touch Pro2. (and yes i know i can flip over the phone to get that, but thats not working when i'm driving a car )
yes that works with the TP2

is it possible to get in speakermode when i longpress the call button when i recieve a call? (so before i answer it)
ah, i thought you meant while in the call. umm, as for answering that way, i don't know.

Not as I know - first single press and then long press.
But, you might try some programs that activate the speakerphone automatically (e.g. a program called... yes: 'Speakerphone' )
maybe you can program them to turn it on only when connected to mains without ActiveSync connection.
Hello fellows,
I have question about screenshots in SGS2. How I can take them? Only by special application, connecting it to PC via HDMI cable or another? I was just wondering to take some pictures from Galaxy on Fire 2 and Reckless Racing
Thanks and greetings.

Not quite, that is the explanation always given but it's actually

Press and release POWER
Release HOME

Press both at same time is actually right. You can hold HOME and press POWER and release POWER and stay holding HOME though.
I'm using "screen capture" on the market
here's the link

HOME + POWER works like a charm, no root required, no need to install any additional apps

Hallelujah! I never got that, was pressing both buttons simultaneously which just locked the screen. This works better, though still not every time like on iOS.
Hi,
1) Does anyone have Voice Action command dialing working? Whenever I try to do it all I get is a numberof suggested Google search results for "call xxx yyy". Now most of my contacts are Swedish names and I guess that may be a bit difficult (?) but I get the same result also for the English named contacts in my phone. Can the fact that all my contacts are imported from Exchange be a reason for this?
2) I cannot, for the life of me, get the screen-shot function to work. I press the power button and then the vol-down button and all that happens is that the volume indicator comes up and goes down to "silent". And "yes" I am keeping the powerbutton pressed the whole time. Any thoughts on what I've missed?
Grateful for any ideas that'll make me appreciate this otherwise very slick piece of hardware...
Cheers/M

You need to press the volume down & power buttons simultaneously to create a screenshot.

I apologise if there has been a thread on this but I have searched and all i could find was about unlocking the carrier.
My problem is that I can't unlock my S3 using the home button, I'm not sure what happened but it just won't work. The button functions perfectly and I can still use the power button, but I have an otterbox and it is rather annoying having to press that button.

10 or 10.1/10.2?
There's a setting directly in cm10.2 for that. Look under Settings > Buttons (in the Device section)
Then you should see "Home button wake" there, make sure it's checked.
