I find calling people is rather central in the whole 'phone' business. It should be as easy as with other phones, or seeing as it's Ubuntu actually the aim should be even higher. The dialer is a numeric one that looks for a match in the 'phone number' field, why not change that to an alphanumeric that matches with number or name? It doesn't have to be difficult!

I find it somewhat annoying, how much steps have to be taken to select a contact from contacts. These are the steps: 1) Hit Contacts 2) Hit the magnifying glass 3) Enter filter string 4) Select contact 5) Select number 6) Hit the green Button. This is 6 Buttons - as much as a telephone number has (in Austria) I'd like to have a filter field in the dialer app, with contacts popping up as I enter the filter string. Contacts should be shown in a tree view with the numbers visible. If I hit a number, it will be dialed immediately. A bit the same, when using the 'recent' view of the dialer or favourites. If you select a call, it won't be dialed immediately. The number is transferred to the dialer field and you have to hit the green button. PS: I'd like to contrubute to the touch project. I'm a software developer (mostly doing C/C++/Qt). If someone would guide me, I'd do some work.
