text-messaging

I'm not sure if this problem is specific to Android, HTC or Sense UI; apologies!

Phone: T-Mobile G2 aka HTC Hero OS: Android 1.5 App: Messages Scenario: I receive a text from someone not in my Contacts, so just have their number. I want to add them as a new contact. Problem: I can't (click on the number and I can call them; long press on the message and I can add to an exist contact).

Is there any way I can add a new contact simply?
