So, to beat a comatose horse, there was some question about what exactly 
Turba should do in this situation. As it stands, it just displays a 
blank name field, giving the user no indication as to what the contact 
is about.

My position is that Turba ought to be like an S60 phone and use the 
company name if it's available and there is no first or last name to use 
to display a name for the contact. I see some modification of the 
current behavior as necessary to make syncing with a phone really 
useful. As it stands, I have somewhere between fifty and a hundred 
contacts in Turba that show up with no identifier when browsing the list.

I'm really late opening the discussion, but what does everyone else think?
