I think the new contact dialog is quite a bit too tall and imposing. There are a few reasons for this.

Basically I don't like the broken out version of the address stuff in general. But regardless I think that it might be better to optimize for new contacts that are name and number or name and email. And have a button that adds the address entries and potentially scrolling only when clicked/requested.

I agree. We've been wanting to do inline new contacts for a while. Let's use this bug to track that.
