Note from Kevin on libdlusb compatibility

Due to the fact libdlusb is incapable of transmitting all the information generally used with the contact application (currently it is capable of only transmitting name, type, and phone number) I have intentionally organized the format to be convenient for saving into the note application instead. This allows the user to have multiple phone numbers per entry along with an e-mail address.
