I've come up with a possible quickfix. If you open the contacts and press space with the keyboard, it'll show up the search box. You can now close the keyboard and the search box will stay. Tapping it will bring up the virtual keyboard where you can type normally. The contacts application seem to disregard the leading and trailing spaces so it'll still show all the contacts.

Sadly if you select a contact, the search field is gone so you need to open the keyboard and type space again :(

hehe, I thought of that one too, but it won't help in my condition where the phone is mounted in the car, I cannot open the slider to reach the HW keyboard...
Someone can however, write a deamon which will use the proximity sensor to simulate a keypress on the HW keyboard.

I guess the other solution is to find a car holder that holds in such a way that allows you to open the physical keyboard.

Anyway with the help of Felipe, I realized there is a newer Qt Mobility SDK, I was running Beta, when the RC1.0 is out for a week now.
I have been having lots of problems with it.

I am reinstalling as we "speak", if this works - i'll move on with my project.
