Yes, that is the idea.  However, don't use listboxes or whatever they 
are.  Don't bother with an item unless it has content, and just draw 
the content as text.  If it is longer than some amount (eg 10 lines) 
then make the 10th line say something like "...and another 7 calls..."

The idea is that it is a summary screen, and hence should be easy to 
take in quickly.  We also want to avoid multiple scrollbars on the page 
since that looks ugly and is user hostile.

To a first approximation, you can make it so that clicking on an item 
changes to that tab.

And if you really want to go for it, you can also add a watermark to 
the page like the wallpaper and ringtones have :-)
