It is possible to call a contact with an associated phone number by selecting the contact's phone number when viewing their details.
It is possible to SMS a contact with an associated mobile phone number by selecting the contact's SMS mobile phone number.
It is possible to email a contact with a valid email address by launching the Messages application with the contact's name and email address in the To field.

It is possible to access contacts via other applications via the QDL service interface. When activated the Contacts application runs and shows the contact.
QDL links can be embedded into the notes of a contact. When in the detailed view, clicking on a QDL link activates the link's application.
Contacts uses data files:
$HOME\Applications\addressbook\addressbook.xml- main list of contacts data.
$HOME\.abjournal- journal of changes to list of contacts since application started.
Both files are in an xml-like format.
addressbook.xmlis the main list of contacts, and is the file sent to Qtopia Desktop on syncing.
.abjournalis a list of adds, edits and deletes made to the list of contacts since the Contacts application started.
Contacts stores settings in
$HOME/Settings/Contacts.conf.
