Thought it would unify my text messging, dialer, and contacts into one...

Others here are saying that this replaces the text messaging, dialer and contacts apps on their phones...I thought I would be able to do that with dialvetica but I cant make the leap.

I can quickly send a text from this app, but I cant view past texts/reply from it.

I can look up contacts by initial quickly, but scrolling through contacts on this is useless. I find looking up contacts with the default app to be incredibly fast. You can even type in a few letters with spaces in the default contact app search bar...it just doesnt learn your preferences.

I really want to love this app. I have completely replaced my calendar with calvetica and had high hopes, but this app just doesnt do enough on its own to justify cluttering my phone with another app. Dialvetica is beautiful and has a snappy gui, but I cannot reccomend it as it is right now.

The one useful contact related feature that I think the iphone is missing is to start dialing a number and see a list of contacts that match the number. Say I dial 555-4 and there are two people with numbers starting with 4 on my phone then I can tape on the right person and dial or text them without having to dial the whole number. Plus have it so that the t9 spelling of the numbers you are dialing will match to names as well.
