[BitPim-user] SPH-A900: first phone number deleted on upload

[Samuel W. <wei...@wa...>]

I'm transferring phonebooks between two Samsung SPH-A900's using a USB 
cable (Samsung OEM) and BitPim 1.0.7 running on Windows XP.

Copying the phonebook from the old phone works just fine, but 
uploading it to the new phone results in:

1) the first phone number, as shown in BitPim, doesn't appear on the 
new phone,

2) contacts with only one phone number don't show up on the phone at 
all, and

3) the email field isn't showing up on the new phone (and contacts 
with only one phone number + email don't show up).

The log shows all of the phonebook entires being transferred, and I'm 
getting no errors.  On at least one occasion (perhaps all), the phone 
rebooted at the end of the transfer: BitPim's status bar reported 
transferring the last name (matching the last log entry), hung there, 
no log entries for several seconds, then disconnect and detection log 
events.

Specific steps: download phonebook from old phone (replacing entires 
in BitPim), connect new phone, upload (replacing entries in new 
phone).  This appears to be repeatable.

I welcome your wisdom.
