2-line call display for name & number

When OS 3.1 came out the iPhone finally had the capability to display the name of the caller if one was available (and you did not have that number in your contacts), OR it showed the phone number if a name was unavailable. But was unable to show both at the same time.

I wanted to offer a suggestion to have a 2 line display to show the name of the caller along with the phone number, instead of the current either/or scenario.

It would come in handy for the times where someone actually registers their name as "Unknown" or something silly with their provider, and it makes it harder to identify who the person is. But if we had the ability to see the number then perhaps it would be that much easier to identify the caller.

Several times I've ran into this problem where I cannot identify the caller because of the name that appears doesn't make sense but afterward I checked the number in Recent and was able to put a face to the number.

I know not many carriers offer Caller ID along with Name display but for those that do offer it, a 2 line display to show name and number would be awesome to have.


Maybe in OS 4.0? =)
