As far as I know the popular asterisk phonebook solution ("Directory")
works by calling an extension and punching in the first letters of the
name (calling me, punching 463... for Hoffmeister, for example) and
makes use of the information in voicemail.conf.

Some SNOM phones have a micro browser, it seems you can use it
for phonebook display. Read (way down)
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+phone+snom
and perhaps the manufacturer homepage for details.

Not been there, not done that ;-)
