PhoneBook in the Lumia 1520 Phone app doesn't have...

Question

The Phone app shows you a Call History to view recent calls as well as a PhoneBook of your contacts.
A weird problem about the app is that while History allows you to view the profile of each call contact, PhoneBook doesn't.
History has a profile icon against each number/contact in the log. Tapping on this icon leads you to a Profile screen which further gives you two options("call number" with the number below it and "text" with SMS below it). This is where you can view the numbers associated with the contact.
Unfortunately, PhoneBook is missing this icon. So when you get into the PhoneBook to view a contact all you can see is the name of the contact. A tap on any contact name leads to a call. Incidentally, when you get into the PhoneBook, the header says "CALL A CONTACT". So, it might have been designed this way too.
I would rather have the PhoneBook open up the People->Contacts interface.

Answer 1

If you want to see contact details before calling just use the People Hub, the phonebook in the dialer only shows contact s with an actual phone number and will go straight to dialing the number (if there is only one).
