Here is how the VX4400/VX6000 do it (and probably later models as well).

pim/pbentry.dat

   This contains information about all the entries with a fixed size
   record.  It doesn't however contain any phone numbers.

pim/pbnumber.dat

   This contains all the phone numbers.  I haven't looked too deeply
   into the format, and can't really tell if it uses fixed or variable
   length records.  The actual phone numbers are stored as binary
   coded decimal, with a nibble of 'e' marking the end of the
   number.  For example the number (123) 555-9812 is stored like
   this in hex:   12 35 55 98 12 e0

pim/pbspeed.dat

   This contains space for 100 speed dial numbers (2 bytes per number)
   and indexes into pbnumber.dat in some way I haven't determined.
