[BTM] Why does T68i add "-" to names

[Miguel Palacios (lists)]

I found that synching my T39, Palm Tungsten T and my Powerbook did not 
work well enough.  I found that this did not map properly the phone 
entries when using isync.  Also Palm desktop hotsync did not map 
properly entries with multple email addresses.  My process is not 
really synching, but works well.

What I do now is just to send the address book entries directly from 
the palm (in the address book, just go to category=all, then send using 
bluetooth to the phone).   Make sure that you have deleted previously 
your entries on the phone and when you send them you answer YES in your 
phone when you bluetooth them over.  Similarly, i send it to the 
Powerbook, and a vcf file appears on my desktop.  I just drag this to 
the mac address book.

This assumes that the address book is only updated in the Palm and then 
this becomes the master to send to multiple all my other devices.

Hope this helps.
