All sounds great to me. You may want to consider adding letter dividers to help find a particular letter quicker when page scrolling or dragging the scroll bar. For instance, if you have many contacts and want to quickly find John Smith, you can grab the scroll bar and scan the dividers for 'S' (probably a larger, bolden font). It can be colored and/or shaded for easy identification. Also nice would be to support jumping the the letter pressed on the keyboard. So if the list has focus, and the user clicks the letter 'S', it will automatically scroll to the first entry starting w/ 'S'.
