         23 . 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.   
     
     
         24 . 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.   
     
     
         25 . 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,   
     
     
         26 . 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.   
     
     
         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.   
     
     
         28 . The computer readable storage media of  claim 27 , wherein the first type of communications comprises at least one of: incoming communications and outgoing communications. 
     
     
         29 . 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. 
     
     
         30 . 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. 
     
     
         31 . 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.   
     
     
         32 . 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.   
     
     
         33 . 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.   
     
     
         34 . 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.   
     
     
         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.
