Upgrading from 650 and duplicate contacts

[jd1585]

I recently upgraded from the 650 to the 700P and when I synced the phone with the palm software it created duplicate contacts. I went through and deleted the duplicates but the next time I synced, the same thing happened. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

The first sync I think you need to make handheld overwrites desktop or desktop overwrites handheld (the one with the contacts overwrites the other one). Otherwise, the sync software thinks the contacts on the handheld and the contacts on the desktop need to be combined. I would suggest you make a backup of the "correct" contact list first if you can.
