Is anyone else using a PPC Phone seeing this problem?  Not seeing this 
problem?  If you have a PPC Phone, send me a private email and let me 
know if you are seeing this problem, and which phone and carrier you 
are using.

Missing Sync is trying to map the Japanese phonetic last name field on 
a PPC to and from the phonetic last name field in address book.  This 
field should only exist on a Japanese device, yet it would appear there 
is some other data in the field on Jamie's XDA.

Jamie, what additional programs have you downloaded onto your XDA that 
involve either contacts or phone calls?  Maybe one of these is putting 
that information in this field.
