Yeah, I know. "Dial" implies a rotary phone. On a 2500 series touch tone phone, I've always used "punch" the number. That's fine for buttons that actually move, but isn't really correct for a flat screen. Perhaps "smear", "smudge", or "poke" a number might be more appropriate? I've always wanted to write an app that simulated a rotary dial phone on the screen.
