Can two Motorola E815s sync up to one family address book?

Question

Hey all, thanks for looking. Apologies if this is an obvious RTFM issue, but I can't find talk of it anywhere. There must be many couples with two cell phones who could/would share the same address book via bluetooth.
Will our iBook G4 with Bluetooth sync the Mac address book onto two different wireless phones? That would be so cool. We use only one account on the Mac, therefore one address book (I think).
We see the Motorola E815 has iSync, which kicks butt, and we're thinking of buying two of them. Thanks again for looking.
If it can't be done, how could we decide who gets to Sync, and who must type it all in manually?

David, nice to hear from you again, hope you are well.
This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Address Book.
I believe you have duplicates because you have two sets of contacts. "iCloud" and "On My Mac". Once you have created all your contacts in the iCloud account, you should delete them from On My Mac.
You can move contacts simply by dragging and dropping from one account to the other, you don't need to export them all to the desktop (although doind so will serve as a good back up if all goes wrong). You should note that this copies them though rather than simply move them, so you'll need to delete the old set when you are done.
As for preserving groups from the On My Mac Account, you can't but you can simplify recreating them by copying contacts (drag and drop) from an on my mac group to an empty group in iCloud.
Not sure about the contacts that you are struggling to move.
Many aspects of iCloud are difficult to understand, have a mull through what I've said so far and come back if everything still doesn't fall into place.
