Synchronizing Contacts with Nokia 6500

Question

Hello
I replaced my old Nokia 6230i with the Nokia 6500. The first time I got it, I immediatly synced my contacts to my new Nokia phone through Isync. Went pretty well, only 3 contacts gave problems. Now after a month on Holiday I tried to update (sync) my contacts but it won't anymore. It starts correctly and promising but halfway it stalls (like 87% done) then Isynch tells me: Something got wrong during retrieving information from phone. Syncing is probably canceled on the phone. There must be going something wrong on the way from phone to mac, but what if I want a one way sync?
Who has any tip how to get this going?

btw syncing the Ical data to the calender on the phone works fine!
Using Isynch with the novamedia plugin for my phone

Hi manta, thanks for your reply.
-do you have contacts both in Outlook and phone ?
Yes I do.
- why you don't want your Outlook contacts to phone ?
I tried that at first, but ended up flooding my phone with a whole lot of contacts that were (1) a duplicate of the ones on my phone and/or (2) were contacts with just emails and no phone numbers (as is the case for many of my outlook contacts).
My primary objective is to backup my mobile phone addressbook, so that if I lose the phone, I don't lose my important contacts. I was hoping to import mobile -> outlook first, clean up everything, then sync both.
But it seems even when I sync both ways, the Outlook updates my mobile, but not the other way around.
- could you create a new contacts folder in outlook and sync the contacts from phone to that empty folder ?
How do I do that? PC Suite only gives me an option "Microsoft Outlook" or "Outlook Express". It doesn't point to any particular folder.
Thanks for the help.
