It seems logical to me, and I tested it and looks good and promising =)

So far (I know this is the first version! :) I am missing the combo box
functionality, so I would not need to type to get the latests calls, and
I would be able to work only with the mouse. I also saw that it doesn't
call the contact once you hit return on a selected address (you have to
use the button).
Then realized that I got lots of results, and it seems that GM is using
the three lists together for the search: received calls, placed, and
unanswered. This is a bit strange, as you get addresses from people you
didn't call, which is something I wouldn't expect to get, but might be a
feature! :)

In general, I would expect it to work much like in a web browser (which
I suppose is the final goal)

Anyway, it looks great, but I miss the combo!

Regards!
