Limit on Phonebook?

I have a blackberry 8100 with about over 1500 contacts many with multiple numbers I had no problem pairing up to the MINI but I only get about half the phonebook (up to It loads alphabetically by first name and can only get up to John)

Does anyone know if there is a limit on phonebook entries?

This is an 08 MCS with Nav and bluetooth, Just delivered.

hmmmmm..... I've got 550, all with 3 or 4 numbers, all loaded ok. That's just under your "1/2".

Maybe it can only keep a "MINI" contact list???

I agree there seems to be a limit. My BB has a little over 1600 contacts and MINI only took up to the letter K. It does seem to have the option for selecting a specific category so I now have all my "personal" contacts.

I cleared out the old BB reset it and resynced with limited categories. I was able to load about 800 contacts, the most important business and all personal. I limited the phonebook because I read on a BMW board that the bluetooth may drop calls if the phonebook has over 1000 entrys.

Anyone been able to identify the upper "limit" of phonebook entries?

I experience this issue too but I am missing ones intermittently, seemingly related to the sequence I entered them into Outlook, only think I can figure.

I wish there was a way to mark the ones to transfer to the MINI by a category or something.

You can transfer by category. I believe the setup screen to choose the categories that you want to transfer is in the blackberry.

I just got a new Katana LX and everything works great except I can only load contacts through part of my "S"'s. Anybody else find a way to fix this? I only have like 100 contacts too, so from the sounds of these previous posts, I shouldn't have any trouble getting all mine to load. Also, do you have to resync the phone anytime you ad or remove contacts. I removed some from my phone and they still show up in my MINI contact list.
