Never trust an external brain

As if I hadn't enough trouble. Today I discovered a strange entry in my mobiles address book. It had some weird characters in it and was clearly corrupt. “So what?” I thought and tried to delete it. Stupid me. This of course let the whole cell phone crash. After a reboot er I mean switching on again it displayed this nasty message “Addressbook destroyed - Delete all data?” Aaargh! No! But there was no other way to reenable the address book without deleting all the data. So I spend half an hour with beaming all the data over from my Zaurus again. Of course some numbers went to nirvana as I'm a lazy boy and can't keep my different address books on sync. I need to do a little research in SyncML some day.
