I found the solution to my speed dial problem on the internet. After doing a systems update on my droid eris I lost all my speed dial numbers and it wouldn't let me enter them again. This solution worked for me: go to settings, applications, manage applications, go to dialer and contact storage and click on each one, click on and select "clear data" This deleted all my contacts but the came back after resyncing with my computer. After this I was able to reload all my speed dial numbers.
