1. A first communication device for facilitating communication between a caller and a first called party having a second communication device, the first communication device comprising:
a browser for presenting and navigating multimedia content;
a storage component;
a keypad operable by the caller to enter one or more characters to spell a word, wherein the keypad is operable to allow the caller to initiate a key-word based lookup of a destination telephone number, wherein the key-word based lookup of the destination telephone number returns a list of one or more results, wherein each of the one or more results is accompanied by controls that the caller can actuate to initiate a call to a corresponding destination, wherein the caller can initiate a call from the first communication device by selecting an entry within the list of the one or more results; and
a screen, wherein the screen is operable to display content, wherein once a call is initiated, the screen renders real-time video information associated with the first called party,
wherein while the screen renders real-time video information associated with the first called party, the keypad is operable to allow the caller to initiate a keyword-based lookup of a second destination telephone number,
wherein the keyword-based lookup of the second destination telephone number returns another list of one or more results;
wherein each of the one or more results is accompanied by controls that the caller can actuate to initiate a call to a corresponding destination; and
wherein the caller can initiate a call from the first communication device to a second called party by selecting an entry within the another list of one or more results.
