SmileDial Pro for iPhone provides a visual phonebook

Dejal Systems has created a visual phonebook for the iPhone called SmileDial Pro, available now on the iTunes App Store. The app displays a contact's photo, allowing for touching the upper or lower half of the photo to send a text message or make a call to that person. Users can swipe through the images using touch gestures and order the contacts any way they prefer. The app also allows for calling a contact via other phone numbers, sending an email, linking a website and more. Photos load from the phone's Address Book or can be picked from the user's photo library and SmileDial also supports taking a contact's photo via the phone itself.

A People button allows for reordering contacts, and an edit option allows for changing phone numbers and links. The app costs $4 and is also available in a Lite version, which is limited to one contact.
