Ok, here's the deal.

I have an 8100 Pearl on AT&T, but I don't think that should matter for this particular question.

I was running 4.2.1.96, and I tried to upgrade to the latest 4.5.

Everything appeared to go smoothly. The software backed everything up, installed the upgrade, and restored all my data. I disconnected, and checked out the BB. Everything appeared to have worked. I checked out some random data, everything appeared to be there.

However, the next day when I connected the BB to my computer to sync with Outlook 2002, it told me that nearly 200 of my contacts' info had changed. Nothing had changed except for a few calendar entries and maybe a task or two. Contacts should have been the same. So, I canceled out and didn't allow it to sync because I was concerned that all my contacts would get messed up.

Anybody know why this would happen? Any fixes?

It happens to me as well... I usually review and ensure that it's nothing being changed.

Sometime it is just "other" or another "field" that don't match up.

Here's another question ... don't know if it's related.

Prior to the upgrade, I had certain software installed that supposedly is not compatible with 4.5. Namely, Empower Mail Pro and SoftReset. Was I supposed to delete these programs prior to doing the upgrade? Because I assume the DM backed up these programs and then tried to put them back on after it upgraded to 4.5.
