if i look at my usage then i like that i get the call log immediately, thats the way i work, i almost always call from the call log because there are about 10 persons who i call and who call me the most.
If that is not the case then i will just start typing the name on the desktop or phone/contacts app.

So i dont want another interface between the call log when i start the phone app so that i have to do 1 extra click. On my E90 i also work exactly like that, when pressing the call button you i did get the call log.
