First, let me say thanks to Mirko. I think it is great that kab and 
kaddressbook can come together. I really like the detailed view and think 
it is a good addition. That being said, a little constructive criticism...

- I agree with Cornelius that it needs a new name. Any view, given enough 
fields, can be a 'Detailed View'. Mabye 'Preview View' or something like 
that.
- Can we get ride of the extra search widgets since kaddressbook has 
incremental searching built in at a higher level.
- The Select View combo needs to be renamed (or removed all together) since 
the idea of 'Views' has already been used at an application level and would 
prove confusing if used again.
- The Hide List and Hide Details buttons should probably bee removed, since 
we already have a list/table view (hide details) and hiding the list 
doesn't make the view very usable (no way to change/select contacts).
- Sorting should be done by the table view column headings to be consistent 
with all other kde apps using the table view. I would even recommend that 
we replace the table view in the Detailed View with an instance of a 
KAddressBookTableView, since it already handles a lot of the stuff this one 
will have to.

Otherwise is looks great!
