I'm not sure if I follow what you did...but...if you are saying that you did a restore with PIM Backup and then did a sync...then that's exactly what I did and got double entries. I no longer back up my contacts with PIM Backup and just let activesync do its magic. Same thing for emails. They got doubled up too. So, the only thing I use PIM Backup for is text msgs...and only if there is something I just can't live without and have to have restored.

Yeah...I use the term 'activesync' as a generic name for all of that crap. I'm vista all the way too. I don't actually connect my mogul to my pc and sync it that way....I use a corporate exchange server and all of my contacts sync via activesync on the phone itself over the air. Glad to hear you finally got it worked out. I know it is a huge pain...and dont really ever want to have to go through it again myself!
