Importing contacts without name gets phone no in first name field

[Tomas Öqvist]

When importing contacts from a Google account, via syncevolution or the new user account sync option, Ubuntu Touch puts the phone number in the first name field if the contact doesn't have any first or last name entry in Google. This happens to a lot of my contacts that I only entered as companies, i.e. only filled in the company field.

I think the problem is we need a name when we create a new contact. If you try to add a new contact from within the app the save button is disabled until you add a first or last name.

In this case, if Company name is specified we should use that for the name instead of the phone number. If phone number is only thing specified for the contact then I guess it's ok to use that for the name if we must have a name.

Same bug for me, despite such contacts created in Google have a "File as" value. If this field is not empty, it has to be used instead of the first name/last name or the phone number.

I agree with Yuri, for two reasons:
- this is how the phone acts, since the contacts are sorted according to the "File as" values. So the "File as" should be printed as a replacement of an empty name.
- this is what evolution does on desktops ! The behavior on phones/desktops should be identical
