Very strange. Not sure why pressing on the insensitive button does anything - it obviously should not. But as you point out we should allow saving of contact with just a phone number and no name. There was a previous bug that caused problems when a contact was saved without any name, but hopefully that has been resolved and we can implement the functionality as you describe.

I have figured out why the insensitive "Save" button is focusing different fields: like the rest of the button bar, it is passing taps through to whatever is behind it, rather than swallowing them. Reported bug 1312578.

Blocking saving contacts with empty name was requested by the designers. I will add the designer team as effected project to get some feedback from him.

I double checked other OS and all of them allow to save a number without a name.
Reasons:
1. You don't want to associate a name because you will recognise the number without the name (there are ppl who store their PIN codes in their contacts) or you are in a hurry and will edit it later.
2. In some cases contacts synced with other services don't have names but only numbers and/or email addresses.
Thus we should allow saving numbers without associated names.
