Hi,

I wrote this using "this example":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtmobility/qml-contacts.html#contact-element

@
Rectangle {
id: topItem
width: 360
height: 640
x: 0
y: 0

 Contact {
     id: myContact
     Name {
         firstName:"John"
         lastName:"Gates"
     }

     EmailAddress {
         emailAddress:"john@example.com"
     }
     EmailAddress {
         emailAddress:"mygmailaccount@gmail.com"
     }

     address.street:"53 Mysteet St"
     address.locality: "My City"
     address.region: "My Region"
     address.postcode:"1111"
     address.country:"My Country"
     address.subTypes:[Address.Postal, Address.Domestic]
     address.postOfficeBox:"1111"

     Nickname {
         nickname:"John"
     }

     PhoneNumber {
         number: "1111111111"
         subTypes:[PhoneNumber.Mobile]
     }

     PhoneNumber {
         number: "2222222222"
         subTypes:[PhoneNumber.Fax]
     }

     PhoneNumber {
         number: "3333333333"
         subTypes:[PhoneNumber.Landline]
     }

     Component.onCompleted: {
         // create new phone number
         var newNumber = Qt.createQmlObject('import QtMobility.contacts 1.1; PhoneNumber { number: "1234567890" }',
             myContact, "newNumber");

         myContact.addDetail( newNumber )
         myContact.save();

         for( var i = 0; i < myContact.phoneNumbers.length; ++i ) {
             console.debug( "Phone number: " + myContact.phoneNumbers[i].number )
         }
     }
 }


 Column {
     spacing:4

     //access the same property with different syntaxes
     Text { text:"Name(from property name):" + myContact.name.firstName + " " + myContact.name.lastName }
     Text { text:"Name(from detail type):" + myContact.detail(ContactDetail.Name).firstName + " " + myContact.name.lastName }
     Text { text:"Name(from detail name):" + myContact.detail("Name").firstName + " " + myContact.name.lastName }

     Text { text:"Address:" + myContact.address.street + " " + myContact.address.locality + " " + myContact.address.region + " " + myContact.address.postcode }

     //If a contact contains multiple details for the same detail type, you can access them with the dynamic property names.
     Text { text:"How many email accounts?:" + myContact.emails.length }
     Text { text:"Email[0]:" + myContact.emails[0].emailAddress }

     Text { text:"How many phone numbers?:" + myContact.phoneNumbers.length }
     Text { text:"phone number[0]:" + myContact.phoneNumbers[0].number }
     Text { text:"phone number[1]:" + myContact.phoneNumbers[1].number }
     Text { text:"phone number[2]:" + myContact.phoneNumbers[2].number }
 }

}

See Component.onCompleted . It should work everywhere you can access contancts from ContactManager.
I hope this will be usefull for you :)

Nice to hear this :)

May be I should add this code as snippet in the Wiki.

Jepp, I think the main thing that a someone new to QML/Javascript/QT is that this Qt.createQmlObject command is the way to create the QML Objects needed.
