 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.

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.
