My HTC Wizard running WM6 has this option, but didn't under WM5. After
selecting "existing" and selecting a contact, you get an abbreviated
version of the normal contact screen withthe name and a drop down box with
all possible phone number choices (Work, Work 2, Home, Mobile, etc.) to
store the number in.

That's how I used to do it as well... ;-)
