Writing out to call history probably isn't useful.  However, from a user's 
perspective (not from an implementation perspective), I'd like to be able to 
view call log data from within the calendar view.

Interesting, but requires extra services for Sprint phones (i.e., PCS 
Vision).  While it's cool, it's not worth $10-15 /month more to me, so I'm 
looking to avoid using it.  If data is available, I'd rather see it come 
through the serial port.
