after two weeks i finally found how to see my SIM contacts on the BlackJack.

this should be the default setting of ALL smartphones, but it is not
(why???).

since many people have reported having the same problem, here is the
solution:

Ready? take a deep breath...

Home > Start > Settings > Wireless Manager > Menu > Phone Settings > Call
Options > Show SIM Contacts!

i don't think you can reach this setting in any shorter path :)

hey!!!

however there is no options in the MSFT Contact application to copy a
contact from the SIM to the phone and vice versa - two options that are
available in my basic old Nokia.

The "Menu > Copy Contact" just duplicates a contact, but it it was on the
SIM, the copy is also on the SIM.

On my old nokia, editing the contact and adding other data than just one
phone number will automatically copy the contact in the phone. on
Smartphone, there is no such feature.

Getting to the sim manager varies by phone... on mine, for example, it
is (was) in the program folder

You should also be able to call it up from contact/tools/sim-manager

there is no Contact > Tools on the BlackJack.

in fact there does not appear to be a "SIM Manager" at all on the BlackJack.

I forgot one in the PATH. It is in fact:

Home > Start > Settings > Connections > Wireless Manager > Menu > Phone
Settings > Call
> Options > Show SIM Contacts!

This is a change which I believe was introduced in AKU3 - the SIM and device
contacts are shown together in alphabetical order rather than effectively
being separate lists. However as you have stated common tasks like copy from
sim to device, or device to sim are missing, and yet these are features on
some of the most basic phones.

I'm not sure about access from the contacts listview itself, but if you open
up the contact in question (either sim or device) isn't there then a menu
option to save it to the other type?

I haven't played with blackjack in particular, but to the best of my
knowlege as long as you are showing SIM items (as you set with your original
post) you should have these from the contact card.

Also, this might not apply to blackjack but on most Smart Phones you can
shorten your path to start -> settings -> phone -> call options.

Thanks!

on the BlackJack there is no "call options" under start -> settings -> phone

and no, on the BlackJack there is no option to save SIM contacts in the
Phone and vice versa (and there is no SIM manager application either).
