Title:
  Phone interface inappropriately uses the word "Dialer"

Status in “dialer-app” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu Trusty r188

  1. Go to the home screen, and if necessary expand the "Applications" section.
  2. Find the app for making phone calls.

  What you see: "Dialer".

  What you should see: Something less esoteric. For example, "Phone", or
  "Calls".

  The dialer itself is only a small part of this app. Other parts
  include the UI for ongoing calls, a summary of the call just ended,
  and logs of previous calls. Naming the phone call app "Dialer" is like
  naming the camera app "Shutter", or the browser app "Address Bar".

  More importantly, developers may refer to the code that powers this UI
  as the "dialer", but few people outside the development team would
  think of it that way -- unless they're the sort of geek who installs
  third-party dialer apps. This can be verified by doing a street
  survey. Get someone to look at the phone, point to the unlabelled
  icon, and ask "What do you think this is?" Repeat 50 times.
