You didn't state what phone you have.

On the Blackjack, if you do a short press of a character, not a long press,
the screen displays progressive selection.

It's pretty ingenious on someone's part. Keys that have multiple
alphanumeric designations are applied against your contact list
mathematically reducing the displayed hits. It's like the TV series
"Numb3rs" in a handset.
