If done correctly, the scrollbar is the simplest(easiest to understand) and quickest way to find a contact. It is currently extremely difficult to use the scrollbar in the SHR contacts app. But, instead of making it always take up extra room, I would propose a dynamic resizing. Normally (when not in use) it's small like now. But if the user touches near the right edge, it should "explode" into a much bigger finger-friendly scrollbar. Instead of just scrolling the list, it would scroll one letter at a time (with adequate visual feedback). Then, when the user removes their finger from the screen, the list will pop to the selected letter.
