Hi all,
I just upgraded SHR testing. I can actually enter new contacts now:

- Open Contacts. Click new
- Click on one of those ugly pencil icons (that look like a slider) of a
  field that is NOT currently selected (Yellow). Then click on the empty
  space to the left, and the keyboard will popup.
- Enter stuff :). Remember that those things will not be saved on the SIM.

I can also import ALL my SIM card entries into the opimd database now!
:-), which makes my phone usable again:

- Open shr-settings. Open "Other". Open "Sim Manager". One caveat: It
  currently does not check if your SIM card is ready yet and once it
  failed to import them, it will never try again unless you reboot. So,
  enter you SIM PIN, wait 2-3 minutes and then open the SIM manager.
  Thanks to Thomas Zimmermann (Heinervdm) for coding this up.
- See all you SIM contacts. Press "import all".
- YAY!

Let me know about regressions.

Not a regression, but a problem with this:

Nothing seemed to happen. So I thought the touchscreen didn't notice my finger, and clicked again. Nothing seemed to happened again, so I gave up.

Going to the contacts, I noticed that everything had been imported twice! So I had to delete all the duplicates. I pity anyone who press the key 4-5 times and have hundreds of contacts...

It'd be nice if the import utility don't create duplicates. If both name and number exists already, don't create a new record. Also, it'd be nice
with status message such as "Imported 15 contacts, skipped 8 duplicates."

One might also wonder what to do if the name exists but the number is
different:
 * Add a new record?
 * Update the existing record?
 * Add the different number to the record, so that there is now
   two numbers?

Avoiding duplication of identical entries is most important though.
