I have gotten and love my new P900 and I am sync-ing it with my Mac OS X Tiger. My issue is that when I add a contact in the Mac and I sync the phone, only the fields that contain data do appear in the phone... in other words if a contact has name and number the fields city, street etc do not appear in the phone and so I can't update the contact from the phone... Choosing "add new field" in the phone menu only allows to add phone numbers, not other type of fields... any solution around this?

I faced the same errors with my P910i too...

However, it seems like it is the Vcards handling of the ISync.
If I were to do a direct sync, merge data on computer and phone. It works fine. but If I erase the phone and sync data from computer, I get the same thing you are facing.

End of the Day, I simply export the Contact list to a Vcard.vcf and then bluetooth it in. Empty the phone first of coz. then when the file is received, attempts to open it will result in adding the contacts to the phonebook. Which has every field available.

Export in VCF 2.5 format, not 3.

and also, there is a field FN:XXXXXXXXX in every entry which needs to be deleted from inside the VCF file. took me a bit of time editing it with some nearly 1000 contacts. But well, I got back my phone book with all the fields intact and all the names there.
