Retrieve cell phone number

Based on the API at phonegap I have put together the following HTML in a 
test to see if I can retrieve the cellphone number when I browse to this 
html from my cell phone. I have obviously misunderstood something for I 
would expect to see the cellnumber in the cellnumber field on the form 
but no such luck.
I would be grateful for any helpful suggestions.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
   <head>
     <title>Contact Example</title>

     <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" 
src="cordova-2.7.0.js"></script>
     <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">

     // Wait for Cordova to load
     //
         function onDeviceReady() {
         var myContact = navigator.contacts.create({"displayName": "Test 
User"});
         document.cellnumber = new ContactField('mobile', 
myContact.cellPhone, true);
     }


     </script>
   </head>
   <body>
     <h1>Example</h1>
     <p>Create Contact</p>
<input id="cellnumber" name="cellnumber" >
   </body>
</html>

Everything will be all right in the end... if it's not all right then it's not yet the end.

Hi Alf,
This is a list for discussing development of Cordova itself. The list for
discussing using Cordova is:
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/phonegap

The docs should have great examples of how to use Contacts:
