Thanks for the replies. Yes, this is in regards to a mobile site and not a phone tree, but from the other responses I wonder if this is even used enough to warrant implementing keypad shortcuts. On most phones (excluding modern phones such as iPhone, Win Mobile, BB, etc.) you're likely to find this in your regular phone navigation, too. Have you guys used this before? I haven't come across a device that uses 0 to connote "home" or "end".
In addition to various phone menu systems, here are some mobile sites which make use of keypad navigation: - Citysearch reults (http://m.citysearch.com) - ask.com (text only) (http://m.ask.com) - New York Times (http://mobile.nytimes.com) - Earthcomber mobile weblink (http://m.earthcomber.com) They vary in the number of items listed, but they make use of the keypad shortcut. The suggestion to lead with 0 is interesting, but I feel it may confuse when viewing feedback on results (e.g. Results 1-10 of 232) whereas you're actual list will show 0 - 9. Plus the 0 hard key is usually the last numeral on the keypad (at the bottom) which doesn't seem to convey the correct order. But still something to consider. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
