Alex, this is how the Nokia OS handles them. As for the changed labels this
would happen also if you did a backup of the address book to the memory
card, the labels that you change will only hshow up changed within the
contacts. There should already be labels prelabled within the contact list
for things such as work mobile and personal moble, work phone and home
phone, work fax and home fax, work email and home email as well as others.
You can also have multiple of the same label such as an example you might
have 3 home phone numbers using the label provided called home phone. I have
had to do this with a couple of people in the past since they had more than
one number going to one place such as work.

Subject: [Talks] question about copying contacts to sim card
Hi list.
I am wondering if someone knows what might be going on with the following
problem.
I am copying contacts from my phone to my sim card.
the copying appears to go OK, however when I brows to my sim directory, I
find all my contacts there, but in several cases where I have multiple
numbers for a contact, the sim card has created individual entries for
each number.
so for example, lets say I have a contact called john smith, who has two
numbers, there will be two contacts called john smith.
also, even more annoying, in the phone book stored on my phone, where I do
have multiple numbers for contacts, I usually rename the fields so that
for example one might be called work mobile, and another might be called
personal mobile.
this information has not been copied to the sim card, so using our john
smith example again, in both contacts called john smith it just says
telephone and gives a different number in each, and it hasn't preserved
the different labels for the numbers.
this will make my contacts annoying to sort out, as on a lot of them I
have home and mobile numbers stored in one card, and also numbers for
there wives and partners all of which has just been scrambled by the sim.
luckily I still have the original in phone memory, but I would like to
know why the copy of my phone book on the sim is so scrambled and how I
can get the information copied correctly.
Many thanks for your help,
Alex.
