Difference between contacts and phone app

[Nolander07]

I posted this in the iPhone 5 forum, but it may be more relevant here:
What, if any, is the advantage of using the contacts app, when all the info is also in the phone app? I know you can use the contacts app on landscape made, but is there any other reason to use it rather than the phone app for contacts? Just wondering as it seems repetitive. Maybe I am missing something, I'm not sure.
