Because, for example, the user presses the Homescreen button and, as a consequence, the dialer goes to the background and the homescreen to the foreground. In that case, for instance, the homescreen could display a notification bar indicating that there is a ongoing call.

The dialer app would probably still need to be kept running, just in the background. It seems unlikely that we'll want to shut down such a critical app and reconstruct all it's state while a phone call is in progress.

I think we should let the dialer app deal with call duration. We can reopen if we change our minds.
