Follow these instructions to put a custom icon on the home screen. It's not speed dial exactly, but it's fun.
1. Go to
http://webclip.us on your computer (not on your phone) and click on "create now".
2. In icon label, type what you want to call your icon.
3. In URL, type either the URL of the website you want to link to, or for a phone number link, type
http://##########.tel.QLNK.net (where ########## is the 10 digit phone number you want). You must enter the
http:// - it won't work otherwise.
4. In "icon file", click the arrow to browse to the photo or image on your computer that you want the icon to display.
5. Enter the security code shown, then click "upload now". You will get a "webclip number".
6. Now on your iPhone in Safari, go to
http://webclip.us and enter the webclip number your computer just generated, and tap Go.
7. Use the plus sign to add the icon to your home screen, change the name to whatever you want, and you will have a cool little icon with the photo you uploaded!
If you used the phone number option, when you tap the icon on your home page, it will launch Safari and then pop up "Call" and "Cancel" buttons to call that phone number directly. If you used a website URL, it will launch that website just like a regular webclip.
So I now have an icon with a picture of my husband's face on it that dials his phone number. Very cool!!
