Yup, you will generally need to use the sync commands.  (Based on my 
experience of the 4400 anyway)

On the 4400, the phonebook program is always running.  For example
it needs to supply names etc for incoming callerid.  If you just 
change the files underneath it, the program doesn't know they have
changed.  There is however a Brew command for rebooting the phone,
so in theory you could write to the files and then reboot the phone.

As a contrast, the 4400 calendar program only runs when you explicitly
start it on the phone, so it is safe to modify the files.  (It actually
even re-reads the files while the calendar program is running and you
change screens!)

That shouldn't be a problem.  Just another tab.  I wanted to add this
anyway to support the LGVX6000.
