I never trust ActiveSync to do anything right, so I keep my contacts backed up with xmlContactsBackup. It's a tiny little freeware app that backs up every contact to xml files. You open it up, hit the BACKUP button, select the contacts you want to backup, and it will put each contact in to it's own XML file. Then, if you ever lose your contacts, you just hit the RESTORE button and select the contacts you want to restore. I transferred all my contacts from my xv6700 to my Mogul with this app. Nice simple free app.
