Abstract:
Disclosed are methods and telephone book interfaces for a navigable telephone book of a mobile communication device. A method includes storing telephone book entries of the navigable telephone book of the mobile communication device, a subset of the telephone book entries being conforming names. The telephone book entries include conforming names to form a retrieved list of conforming names so that they may be accessed by at least one of a fine scrolling control and a coarse scrolling control. A truncated list of conforming names is displayed on the display screen so that a plurality of telephone book entries of the same name are undivided on a display screen, if the retrieved list of conforming names would otherwise span more than one page length of the display. Names are consolidated on the display screen if the consolidated list of conforming names fills at least one page length of the display.
