Watch that sync fella

So I'm trying out new devices right now, mainly the M5000 and the Nokia 6680 & 6630.

I had a lot of trouble with Bluetooth initially but got that all sorted out so that the Nokia PC suite worked well, nice apps for backing up photos, syncing contacts etc which as it turns out is just as well since when I managed to setup the M5000 to sync over the air to my exchange account it decided to wipe out all my contacts which is incredibly bad, it must have decided it was in control and deleted them all from exchange for me.

As if this wasn't bad enough I synced my SPV C500 before I noticed so it wiped out all the contacts stored there... it's like a freakin virus, spreading through all my devices and wiping out all contacts !

Fortunatly I still have them all on the 6680 so although the PC suite wouldn't sync them back automatically I have managed to get it sending all contacts back to my laptop through Bluetooth manually (mark all > send via..) but damn it's slow, been two hours already !

When it comes to new devices and syncing be afraid, very afraid.....
