only option was save...I deleted the account and re added it and it works again. I didn't think it would because sending service books and a reboot didn't help. weird...
I have Verizon Wireless, logged into VZW BIS, and checked the sync contacts. It performed the sync to my gmail account and my contacts have been a complete mess ever since. Is seemed like there was a complete copy and jumble performed. I have my work information in seemingly everyone's contact info. My name appears more than 10 times as separate contacts. Basically, my address book is a complete disaster. My recommendation is if you have a gmail account that you are trying to sync, stick with Google Sync.
