My first reaction to these buttons was that they would just move to the
spot in the contacts list where the last name started with that letter,
or would return a page with just those names starting with it. I imagine
that would be the expectation of most users too. In any case a way to
move quickly within the list without having to type in a search or
scrolling manually is important with large contact lists.

        Just my $.02,
