Automatic Import of Cellular Phonebook and Call History

When you select a person from the list in the cellular 
phonebook, you can see up to three category icons. 
The icons indicate what types of numbers are stored 
for that name.

If a name has four or more numbers, ... appears 
instead of category icons.

On some phones, it may not be possible to import the 
category icons to HFL.

The phonebook is updated after every connection. 
Call history is updated after every connection or call.
