>> If you are using an HP unit such as HX4700 series, try the just
released ROM as this is one of the issues they addressed <<

Would like to know more about what they changed.


The reason for the page article at http://bevhoward.com/PPCDun.htm is to
help understand what ms' intent was and to preclude users from thowing
away some powerful functionality by adopting a quick fix.

In the case of the OP, to preclude outlook from appending the user's
home area code, simply tap tools/options in contacts and blank the area
code...

....doing so, however, will lead to significant future work as the number
of contacts increase, the user moves and if the user starts using
contacts with a phone edition.
