Voting/consensus and open source don't really go hand in hand...

I propose:

email1 = Home
email2 = Work
email3 = Spare

mobilePhone = Private Cell
carPhone*	= Work Cell

*carPhone is an MS legacy from their first attempt (early 90s) at Contact management back when car phones were more popular than cell phones (and cheaper to buy).  It's been preserved ever since, but I haven't seen a car attached to a phone for years.  At least not the way it was back then.
