Hey,

I have read this whole entire thread.. And I agree with the community.. The phone app should have those filters and I do think that it won't make it complicated or anything like that..

Here's a VERY ROUGH sketch (because I am using MS Paint and it's 3:15 AM and I am extremely tired) of IMHO how it should look like..



This way, again IMHO, I think it will be very easy to use/understand, very effective, and best of all it totally goes with the rest of the OS's UI and it's simple; not complicated.


EDIT: I just thought of this idea too.. the pop-up menu would also have a search button too (maybe under the "All" or whatever a good name would be for that, maybe "Default"?)...

When someone presses the Search button, people then can search a name of phone number (just to see if a certain person called or no)..

Meh, I don't know if that's a good idea, but I am just throwing it out there..
