I thought, IIRC, I had something similar to this on a Nokia I had at one point in time. Maybe the Nokia N73. I think I'd start spelling their name, and it'd narrow down the search via the contacts. I used it a lot.

Cool thing was that I could do it without looking at the keypad/phone. Had it setup with 'quick keys'.

Great idea for an iPhone app. Maybe get to it via assigning it to the Home button shortcut (like you already can do via settings, or like Intelliscreen works). I bet either of the methods would fly for the App Store.

I'd pay for it!

Anyone? Anyone? Buehler? Buehler?
