Abstract

A telephone terminal configured to provide a personalized user selectable feature which is displayed whenever the telephone terminal display is returned to an idle state from accessing other available features on the telephone terminal. Any of the available features on the telephone terminal may be designated as the personalized user selectable feature. A user may, for example, select a feature in the terminal that he or she uses the most as the personalized user selectable feature. Rapid movement to and execution of this user selectable feature from any of the other features in the telephone terminal is thus facilitated.
