Contacts Synchronization:
Faster synchronization: With our new synchronization routines, Microsoft Phone Data Manager (beta) will take much less time to synchronize your contacts between phone and Windows Live Contacts. In fact synchronization is about 7 times faster, so feel free to sync changes on a regular basis. If you are upgrading from the earlier Beta, you will notice that the 1st sync with the new version will cause all your earlier synced contacts to flag as modified even if you have not made any changes. That one time change is necessitated by our improved synchronization mechanism
De-duplication of contacts: Microsoft Phone Data Manager (beta) is one of the newer tools in this space and some of you have already either manually entered or used other sync tools to bring your contacts into Windows Live Contacts. First time usage in these cases is definitely going to lead to duplication. We've tried to overcome that and Microsoft Phone Data Manager (beta) will now warn you if it notices any potential for duplication (any time you sync contacts and not just the 1st time). The warning will also point you to how you can resolve these duplicates
Better reporting, more disclosure: Microsoft Phone Data Manager (beta) fails to properly back up contacts on some phones. Some of you have written to us asking how to either recover or at least become more informed about the error. Handling recovery is in the works but for now the application will show you more information on which contacts have been handled. So if you are forced to stop a contacts sync, you at least know exactly what has been processed.
Thank you very much
