There quite some mistakes in this article.

First:

// Open the default contacts database: CContactDatabase* contactsDb = CContactDatabase::OpenL(); CleanupStack::PushL(contactsDb);

// Get the ID of the own card and open the contact: TContactItemId ownCardId = contactsDb->OwnCardId(); CContactItem* ownCard = contactsDb->ReadContactL(ownCardId); CleanupStack::PushL(ownCard);

TInt count = ownCard->CardFields().Count(); contactsDb->CloseContactL(ownCard->Id()); CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(); // ownCard

There has to be CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(2); // ownCard, contactsDb since contactsDb is pushed on cleanup stack

Second error is here:

TContactItemId ownCardId = contactsDb->OwnCardId(); CContactItem* ownCard = contactsDb->ReadContactL(ownCardId);

Since there isn't all the time an own card id, this code should be

TContactItemId ownCardId = contactsDb->OwnCardId(); if(ownCradId != KNullContactId) {

   CContactItem* ownCard = contactsDb->ReadContactL(ownCardId);

}

For field indexing a check has to be made as well:

TInt index = ownCard->CardFields().Find(KUidContactFieldGivenName); ownCard->CardFields()[index].TextStorage()->SetTextL(KOtherForename);

Should be

TInt index = ownCard->CardFields().Find(KUidContactFieldGivenName); if(index != KErrNotfound) {

   ownCard->CardFields()[index].TextStorage()->SetTextL(KOtherForename);

}

Also I think article should mention how contact ids for other contacts than owncard can be obtained
