Nokia PC Suite problems & questions with 9500...

Question

Hey guys,
got some problems with the Nokia PC Suite and my 9500.
I am using...
Nokia PC Suite 6.80.22
Communicator 9500 FW 5.22(7)
Windows XP SP2
Microsoft Outlook 2003 with all updates
(1) When i synchronize my 9500 with Outlook using the PC Suite (i only update in one direction) it doesn't update all contacts from the phone to outlook - some are still missing in outlook while being present on the phone
(2) Most of the contacts are not updated properly into Outlook - e.g. when my contact on the phone has 4 cell phones it just updates 1 cell phone number into Outlook, probably 'cause Outlook just has one cell phone field... Anyway around it or to fix this problem ?
(3)When a contact was already established and synchronized to Outlook and I later changed or added data in the contact on the phone (e.g. added an email adress) - when i synchronize to Outlook it will not update the new Contact Information from the Phone in the Outlook Contact Card
(4)When i view my Contacts in the PC Suite using the Phone browser it shows all names - but the contacts that have only a Company Name and no First and Last Name are blank in the field name and only shown by number (which makes it impossible to guess who it is) - any way to see the contacts in the PC Suite also by Company Name (and by Last & First Name) ?
Thanx anybody for your help !
Mike

Manta: why don't you use "update both directions"

Manta: most likely they are syncronised, you just need to find a view in Outlook that shows all contact details and you will se that the details are there. Also study the sync log to see what was syncronised, what ever is listed in the log, should be there.

Manta: You cannot view those contacts by company, the list view in Nokia PHone Browser/Windows Explorer is "fixed"
