OTHER COMMENTS:
I have not tried 0.8.9 since it doesn't connect as filed in
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11751

It would have been nice if we could choose the mapping from the service to
contact field for profile pic and nickname before updating.

I'm assuming in step 1 you clicked "Refresh", rather than "Retrieve". If so,
this is intended behaviour. However, the wording is confusing and discussion is
happening under bug #5452 - and can be tracked there.

I don't use "Refresh" much myself, so suggestions on how it could be improved
would be appreciated on #5452: perhaps it does need a dialogue allowing you to
select fields and whether or not they are updated in "Refresh" mode.
