Input is received relating to the statistical information. The contacts are displayed based on the input and the statistical information. ## Claims ### Claim at position 1 -18. (canceled) ### Claim 19 A method of displaying contact information on a mobile communication device, the method comprising: displaying, on the mobile communication device, a plurality of output formats for a plurality of contacts, wherein the plurality of output formats are based on statistical information pertaining to a plurality of types of communications between the mobile communication device and the plurality of contacts; receiving an indication of a desired output format corresponding to a particular type of the statistical information, the particular type of the statistical information including an aggregate of a first type of communications associated with each contact during the life of the mobile communication device; and displaying, on the mobile communication device, contact information ordered according to the particular type of the statistical information. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The method of claim 19, wherein the first type of communications comprises at least one of: incoming communications and outgoing communications. ### Claim 21 (depends on 19) The method of claim 19, wherein the aggregate of the first type of communications comprises: a total number of the first type of communications. ### Claim 22 (depends on 19) The method of claim 19, wherein the aggregate of the first type of communications comprises: a total length of time of a total number of the first type of communications. ### Claim 23 (depends on 19) The method of claim 19, wherein displaying contact information ordered according to the particular type of the statistical information comprises: displaying a first contact record before a second contact record when a first aggregate of the first type of communications associated with the first contact record is greater than a second aggregate of the first type of communications associated with the second contact record. ### Claim 24 (depends on 23) The method of claim 23, wherein displaying the first contact record comprises: displaying a first field of the first contact record due to a current of time of day occurring within a specified time range, wherein the first field is associated with a time of day directive for display of the field during the specified time range. ### Claim 25 (depends on 24) The method of claim 24, further comprising: displaying a second field of the first contact record in place of the first field when the current of time of day occurs outside of the specified time range, ### Claim 26 (depends on 23) The method of claim 23, wherein displaying the first contact record comprises: displaying a field of the first contact record due to a geographic position of the mobile communication device, wherein the field is associated with a geographic directive for display of the field when the mobile communication is in proximity to a geographic location. ### Claim 27 A computer readable storage media encoded with computer readable program code providing operations comprising: displaying, on the mobile communication device, a plurality of output formats for a plurality of contacts, wherein the plurality of output formats are based on statistical information pertaining to a plurality of types of communications between the mobile communication device and the plurality of contacts; receiving an indication of a desired output format corresponding to a particular type of the statistical information, the particular type of the statistical information including an aggregate of a first type of communications associated with each contact during the life of the mobile communication device; and displaying, on the mobile communication device, contact information ordered according to the particular type of the statistical information. ### Claim 28 (depends on 27) The computer readable storage media of claim 27, wherein the first type of communications comprises at least one of: incoming communications and outgoing communications. ### Claim 29 (depends on 27) The no computer readable storage media of claim 27, wherein the aggregate of the first type of communications comprises: a total number of first type communications. ### Claim 30 (depends on 27) The computer readable storage media of claim 27, wherein the aggregate of the first type of communications comprises: a total length of time of a total number of first type communications. ### Claim 31 (depends on 27) The computer readable storage media of claim 27, wherein displaying contact information ordered according to the particular type of the statistical information comprises: displaying a first contact record before a second contact record when a first aggregate of the first type communications associated with the first contact record is greater than a second aggregate of the first type of communications associated with the second contact record. ### Claim 32 (depends on 31) The computer readable storage media of claim 31, wherein displaying the first contact record comprises: displaying a first field of the first contact record due to a current of time of day occurring within a specified time range, wherein the first field is associated with a time of day directive for display of the field during the specified time range. ### Claim 33 (depends on 32) The computer readable storage media of claim 32, further comprising: displaying a second field of the first contact record in place of the first field when the current of time of day occurs outside of the specified time range. ### Claim 34 (depends on 31) The computer readable storage media of claim 31, wherein displaying the first contact record comprises: displaying a field of the first contact record due to a geographic position of the mobile communication device, wherein the field is associated with a geographic directive for display of the field when the mobile communication is in proximity to a geographic location. ### Claim 35 A method of displaying contact information on a mobile communication device, the method comprising: displaying, on the mobile communication device, a plurality of output formats for a plurality of contacts, wherein the plurality of output formats are based on statistical information pertaining to a plurality of types of communications between the mobile communication device and the plurality of contacts; receiving an indication of a desired output format corresponding to a particular type of the statistical information, the particular type of the statistical information including an aggregate of total length of time of a total number of a type of communications associated with each contact during the life of the mobile communication device, wherein the type of communications comprises at least one of: incoming communications and outgoing communications; and displaying, on the mobile communication device, contact information ordered according to the particular type of the statistical information. ### Claim 36 (depends on 35) The method of claim 35, wherein displaying contact information ordered according to the particular type of the statistical information comprises: displaying a first contact record before a second contact record when a first aggregate of the type of communications associated with the first contact record is greater than a second aggregate of the type of communications associated with the second contact record. ### Claim 37 (depends on 36) The method of claim 36, wherein displaying the first contact record comprises: displaying a field of the first contact record due to a current of time of day occurring within a specified time range, wherein the field is associated with a time of day directive for display of the field during the specified time range. ### Claim 38 (depends on 36) The method of claim 36, wherein displaying the first contact record comprises: displaying a field of the first contact record due to a geographic position of the mobile communication device, wherein the field is associated with a geographic directive for display of the field when the mobile communication is in proximity to a geographic location.
