Bug Description

I have stored 2 different contacts in my address book with similar numbers:

Name 1 -> +43 1 9663*** (a landline number)
Name 2 -> +43 699 19663*** (a cell phone number)

The last 8 digits are the same in both numbers.

What happens:

If I select the 2nd number, the messaging app shows the name belonging to the 1st number (in both the compose view and in the history view). Because the number is not shown in the compose view, I don't see if I selected the correct contact.

(BTW, the dialer app shows the wrong (1st) name as well if I select the 2nd contact. But I can check it because the number is shown as well.)

What I expect to happen:

If I select the 2nd number, the name belonging to the 2nd number should be displayed.

@thiago, this looks like a problem on the contact watcher component. Could you take a look on that?
