The only problem with this is that we can only gaurantee one number per
entry and would have to store the config data in about 20 ascii digits.
That is doable for settings like is the order first name, last name
but is a problem for storing a ringtone associated with each 
category.

The LG phones are way more confused than that.  They actually store the
phonebook information in two or three files, but present stuff as
though there was only one in the sync protocol.  This is what makes
the speeddial stuff more difficult as they index into one of those
files instead of the index for sync protocol entries.

(Actually the coders seem to never use the same indexing scheme
twice.  Almost every thing that has lists of entries such as 
the phonebook, speeddials, camera images, wallpapers, do the
indexing in a different way).
