But say, I send an sms or receive an SMS from GV, i get the sms as an IM from +1(123)456-7890. So, I never get the name XXX YYY in the conversation head.

In other words, if i search for conversations (ie, including SMS and IM) from XXX YYY, I dont have the GV SMS (which is actually an IM) listed.

However if I search for conversations from +1(123)456-7890, I get only the GV SMS not the others!!

I would assume that these numbers should get a name in GV IM from contacts, if the contacts has the number/name, right?

If it is a bug, I am happy to file it. Just lemeno what is supposed to happen, or is it something already being looked at?!
TOR currently grabs names only from GV servers if enabled and if they are present. It is an interesting idea to try to match them up with system contacts and provide names that way. If you are interested, feel free to file an enhancement request, though this one probably wouldn't be as much of a priority for me to implement.

The problem can also be looked at in reverse, how Maemo 5 deals with contacts on multiple connection managers
