Well, I have 2540 contacts...
I did wait a good few minutes... like an hour or so, but no it still was not
working...
I've finally found a way round it though....
I un-installed from the device,
did a soft reset
re-installed BCM on the device
opened up bcm BEFORE synchronising contacts
Set the "sort by" option back to "By name"
Then synchronised.
it all works now, but it would be nice to sort by business at some point in
the future.
Cheers for your help though.
Hopefully MS will take note of this and sort it out at some point.
