1. A mobile device operable to initiate and receive communications over one or more wireless communication networks, the mobile device comprising:

  • a processing subsystem, a memory subsystem, a display subsystem, a communication subsystem, and a keyboard subsystem, the processing subsystem coupled to the memory subsystem, display subsystem, keyboard subsystem and communication subsystem, and operable to store and retrieve data in the memory subsystem, to execute instructions stored in the memory subsystem, receive input data from the keyboard subsystem, and to cause the communication subsystem to transmit and receive data over the communication network; and

    mobile device program code comprising program instructions executable by the processing subsystem and stored in the memory subsystem and upon execution cause the mobile device to display on the display subsystem a graphical user interface to facilitate the processing of expedited communication data, the graphical user interface comprising;

    a graphical key representation of mobile device keyboard subsystem keys, the graphical key representation comprising a plurality of graphical keys arranged in similar disposition to the mobile device keyboard subsystem keys; and

    visual indicia to indicate mobile device keyboard subsystem keys associated with expedited communication functions, andthe mobile device program code, upon execution cause the mobile device to;

    receive user input and select one of the graphical keys displayed on the graphical user interface;

    if the corresponding mobile device keyboard subsystem key of the selected graphical key is associated with an expedited communication function, display associated expedited communication data; and

    if the corresponding mobile device keyboard subsystem key of the selected graphical key is not associated with an expedited communication function, display a user input dialog for associating an expedited communication function with the corresponding mobile device keyboard subsystem key.
