Stumbled across this dialer...VERY practical

I was looking at different themes and I ran across this one in the dialer that I have not seen before (excuse me if I'm late). This particular dialer has a small window on it that resembles the contact list. You can filter this window to show contacts & calls received/dialed, calls dialed, or speed dial numbers. In this pic, I am using the calls dialed filter. I have found this dialer to be VERY useful as I can just click the phone button and use the scroll wheel to dial numbers that I have either called or received a call from recently. It's definitely convenient when driving. If this is something that isn't in the mainstream, let me know and I will gladly post how I did it.

That looks just like the default WM6 dialer LOL

lol I know it's the default dialer, however it has the scroll box with contacts and dialed calls now. Mine did not have that before (so it's new to me).

Yeah I can see that. I guess that's a little more convenient than pushing a button to see the same thing.

Ok Mr. sarcastic, in this window it doesn't show the same number multiple times in a row. So say the same number has called you for whatever reason, instead of seeing the same number over and over and over, it just shows you once. It is much faster and much more convenient than having to go into the call history everytime. Perhaps you don't see how this is useful, but it has been very useful for me.

yeah it does look a lot like the same one, but one diff. color in there, it's cool though!

Yeah it is the exact same one. What happened was I removed a dialer skin that I installed from spb, and when I went back to the default dialer skin, I now have scroll box for quick access to calls and contacts without having to leave the dialer screen.

I wonder if there is a way of stripping functionality into a cab for an easy install?

Great! I just wonder why they didn't enable this by default. It kinda makes you wonder what other features may be present that are just hidden away. hmm.....
