Charlie traced this down to the suffix Qtopia is using to declare SIM numbers as home, mobile, etc. numbers. A fix is pending.

this patch :
http://git.openmoko.org/?p=qtopia.git;a=commit;h=50517a0d25ed72bff61ac3daf334c768c888b291

should at least fix the problem when importing into the sim.

For the other way around (going from the sim to the phone) it should be an other issue. Need to see with the testing guys what is going on exactly.

This is not totally fixed yet...if over 12 letters still have limit.
I think we should define how many words that we can input?

The name is truncated when importing to SIM because there is a limitation of the contact name length in the SIM. This commit add a warning message when we modify the name :
