[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Contacts sync corruption

[Blaine Wilson]

Hi Tony,

Thanks for the report!

I was able to reproduce this issue as well, and I'll pass the  
information to the developers so we can fix it.

In the mean-time, a simple fix is to use last names in these records.

Thanks again for taking the time to write.

Regards,
