Shipped by definition should contain the radio.

As has been discussed before, Manila 2.1 does not play nicely with PimBackup, so if thats how you are restoring your contacts, you could be in for some issues. If you have ever restored with PIM backup, even if you changed to using activesync the underlying issue will still be there, even after restoring to your phone via activesync.

The solution so far is to use pimbackup as normal to backup your contacts, and then copy the PIM.VOL file from the root of your phone ('/'). Make it an OEM and have it moved to the root directory from the windows directory upon user customization and everything works smoothly.

edit: pim backup adds some kind of meta data or something which is not compatible with manila 2.1 and is not removed when using activesync instead (even if you are restoring to a newly flashed phone using activesync) I assume there could be problems with other backup programs too if they backup contact information in a binary format.
