no... the "To" address entry field will autocomplete addresses ( not sure if this is default or requires some 
checkbox to be ticked somewhere ).. I'm currently at home so don't have easy access to my evo.  I can 
generally type 3 characters of an address in the "To" entry field and allow autocomplete to do the rest, hit 
enter, type 3 chars of the next address that I want, let autocomplete do the rest, repeat

In the address book itself, when i use it, i tend to do a similar thing... type in 3 chars in the search field 
and then dbl click the one i want..
