Google Contacts Issue When Syncing via BIS to Storm2 (9550)

[TurboTiger]

Storm2 (9550) .1015
Syncing Calendar and Contacts to Google via BIS.

My contact address fields on my Storm2 get screwed up when syncing.

On my Storm2 the entire address, including street, city, state and zip end up in the street field.

Looks OK in the Gmail contact fields.

Every time I correct it on my Stom2, after it syncs it ends up all being in the street field.

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA

Complain to RIM? Unfortunately, that's how the contacts sync through BIS. Frustrating to say the least. I gave up and just sync off my local address book.

Seriously, for a company that's trying to get more of the consumer market, you'd think they would actually do something consumer-focused/friendly with the BIS feature-set.

Tks for the info.
What exactly did you mean when you said "I gave up and just sync off my local address book"?

Use Desktop Manager to sync the address book (Address Book.app on Mac, Outlook on PC) to my BlackBerry.

After using Outlook for years and backing up my data using the Outlook Backup feature in Outlook, I lost the last 9 months of email after trying to restore (after having to wipe my hard drive clean)

I promised myself that this will never happen again so I started using my gmail address and converted all of my calendar and contacts to google.

So now my only issue is what cloud based site to sync the BB native task and memoPad to.

Any ideas?
