difference btwn contacts in green phone icon and new Contacts?

Does anyone know what's the difference between the contacts in the green phone icon and the contacts in the brown phone book (Contacts) icon which just showed up after the upgrade?

Thanks!

No difference. It's the same.

Then what's the point of a 2nd app...? Am I missing something here?

I'd sure like to know the answer to this as well. If you can perform the exact same functions from either icon, what's the point of having them both?

The ONLY think I can think of is that the clicking the Contacts icon will always put you directly into your list of contacts, while clicking on the Phone icon will take you to you last phone operation, which could be Recents, or VM, or something besides your Contacts. So, I guess the Contacts icon is a step-saver.

That's all I can think of.

People complained that they had to push 2 buttons to get to contacts before; 1 - phone, then 2 - the contact button in there. They then saw the contact app on the iPod Touch and thought, why isn't this on the iPhone.

With the 2.0 software Apple just put that app on the iPhone now as well. It is exactly the same as the one in the phone app.
