Bug description:
  Hi!

  Just two  things I'd like to see in  fav contacts: If you select a
  contact and hit the call button, it doesn't place the call, but it
  only opens the dialer app and copies the phone number to the input
  field. You have to hit the green button to place the call. I think
  this is annoying. If I hit the call button, I want the person  to be
  called immediately. There is no benefit of not placing the call. There
  are no options in the dialer app. You just have to hit the green
  button.

  The other thing is a little inconsistency with the dialer app. If you select a contact and hit More and  Open Button, you get to the properties screen of the contacts app. Contrary to that, if  you select contacts in the dialer app and select a contact you first get presented a list with the persons phone numbers and icons for messages and properties. If you want to call a number you have to tap the number. I think, most time you select a contact from fav contacs, you want to contact this person and for that, it should be the same routine as in the dialer app. Most disturbing is, because you are taken to the properties of the contact, you must not tap the phone number itself, but the telephone icon at the right edge of the screen. 
  In my opinion, first thing you should be presented after hitting the more button, is that small list as in the dialer app. Even better, forget about the more button. The list could be presented immediately. So my ideal fav. contacts screen has the red (why not green as in the dialer app) Call button, which I like  and then the small list as in the dialer app (with all the contacts phone numbers and the message icons, and the contacts properties icon. ) This would hold another advantage: You see which number is called when you hit the Call button (supposed it always dials the first one from the list).  Right now, you never see which type (home, work, ...) of number is called when you tap the Call Button.  You don't see anything in the fav. app and the dialer app just shows the number, not the type of number.
