Hi,

I have seen quite a few sync issue when PIM information is imported. Some
of them have been documented here -
http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/raj/Import.html

Could you provide me some more information on software you used to create
the .csv file. I would like to try and recreate this issue.

In the meanwhile, do the following: open an imported contact and edit any
text within it, like put a space and then do a backspace and save the
contact. Then sync and see if it sync's. If it does, then I can mail you a
add-in which will help solve your problem.

Glad to know you got your contacts on the mobile device. Will add this
information to the web page provided earlier. However, I am curious to know
if your Contacts had a Webpage address field and did they appear correctly
upon synchronization?
