Phonegap - Adding a Contact to iPad - Empty Contact

On the iPad 5.1 Simulator I'm trying to add a contact to the phonebook like this:

contact = navigator.contacts.create()
contact.displayName = "Plumber"
contact.save()

The contact is saved but as an empty contact. Am I doing something wrong here?

We are using cordova-2.0.0.

What I had to do was something like this...

    var contact = navigator.contacts.create();
    var fullName = new ContactName();

            fullName.givenName = "John";
            fullName.familyName = "Doe";
            fullName.formatted = "John Doe";
            contact.name = fullName;
    contact.save();

That should allow you to save the contact with a name.

If you head to the Contact Object section, you can find some more examples on adding contacts.
