Couple newbie questions,
First Question: I have two folders in outlook contacts, one is business and the other is for personal. When syncing one folder at a time the contacts from each folder end up as copies in both.
Is there any way around this? Or does anyone have a creative idea on how to keep personal/business contacts separate?
My reason is because on my business contacts I might have 200 or so in the folder, and then in the personal side I might have 300-400 (lots of local business numbers). That is the reason why I do not want to combine the two.
Second Question: When I sync my contacts with Outlook, and check them on the P800 the name of the contact is always added to the “notes” area on the phone. But, when I check Outlook it’s not in the notes area. How do I prevent this?
Third Question: The contacts on the phone apparently can go into different folders “personal/business” what is that use for? Does anyone use this or does everyone just keep them in “unfiled.”

The 'Personal' and 'Business' categories in contacts are really just to help you organise your contacts. You can select which category to display, 'Business', 'Personal' or 'All'. I do use the categories, but Its not that interesting really, except if you have a large number of contacts and need to sort through them rather quickly, which is the case for me.
At the end of the day its more to do with personal preference really.

1) You don't need to have two folders in outlook to have separate Business and Personal Contacts...Just need to make categories... U can have AS MANY categoires as u want. When U create a new contact in Outlook, if U look at the bottom right, u'll see a line for category, type Business there for instace, and thats it, outlook creates the business group for you. You can then drag an drop any contact to any category.
2) I had a P800 about 4 months ago, at that time I had emailed SE Support regarding this and they said theres no solution, on the other hand it doesnt cause any inconvenicne, so just ignore it
. I was hoping SE will fix it in a later firmware upgrade, seems like they havent.
3) The business/personal folder on the phone is just an extention of the Outlook Categories idea. IF U have 400+ contacts, its a good idea to have them in different folders, makes scrollin down to a contact quicker. The snag is, the P800 sync s/ware doenst sync Outlook categroies to the phone (atleast it didnt in the veriosn I had), which means you have to manually go and assign a folder to each contact, quite tedious really.
