Use bottom of the screen icon menus
Rationale: There is often some obvious and diverse functions that I want to perform.
Suggestion: The icons at the bottom of the iPod screens are very useful. Why not use those in other places? For example, on the contacts screen for sort order or to bring up the keyboard. On the folder list screen to bring up typing or collapse/expand all folders. In the browser to indicate that all clicked links goto a new tab, etc.

Allow scrollbars to pop up
Rationale: When I am spinning along a long list (e.g., contacts) I can get tired.
Suggestion: After a spin or two, allow a scroll bar to come up which can then be used to move the list by large amounts.

Allow typing of contact names
Rationale: When you have lots of contacts it is faster to type a few letters of their name, then to have to spin the page.
Suggestion: Put a keyboard icon on the bottom of the contacts page which when pressed brings up the keyboard so you can type some or all of the letters of the contact name. (Similar to how the email addresses work when sending mail.)

Find names by either first-name, last-name, or company.
Rationale: Sometimes I can't remember someones last (or first) name. It would be nice if I could switch between the sort order on the contacts page.
Suggestion: Put a sort order button at the bottom of the contacts screen (along with other potential buttons) similar to the buttons on the bottom of the iPod screen. If you allow typing of contacts then show all possible matches using all possible sorted orders (firstname-lastname, lastname-firstname, company, lastnameinitial-firstname, firstnameinitial-lastname)

Show photos in the contact list
Rationale: One can often identify faces, even if they are small, before words. Also, it would be cool :).
Suggestion: Make this a configurable option. (no photo, small photo, large photo).
