Fair enough. On a related note, since I am without my build machine at the moment (sigh, apple, boo) do you know off the top of your head if master allows rebinding the 'talk' and general phone/contact UI to a different app? (There is a 3rd party phonebook app in the market - free no less - that rocks, but the released code always falls back to the system dialer/phonebook. Which I'm sure is an oversight/bug rather than design, since "phonebook" is one of the examples on that page :) ..)
I -think- there is already a bug but I'll check and file one later if not..
