I just synced my Motorola v60i to iCal & address book for the first time.
It worked allright, but many names had a space put before them...thus messing up the alphabetic listing. Modifying these on the phone will delete the phone numbers in the OS X address book.
Seems to do this with any contacts that only have a business name listed - no personal contact.
I guess I could try entering the business name in the First & Last fields, but I'd like to keep it consistent across the address book.
Any way to have the business names fall into their appropriate place in the phone's alphabetic listing without jumping through hoops?
Also, when it 'synced' the calendar with the next 8 week's appointments, it decided to go ahead and erase the next weeks in iCal rather than added those events to the 8 blank weeks on the cell phone.
WTF is this thing doing? iSync doesn't appear to have nearly the level of conflict resolution that the Motorola TrueSync software had when I synced to the PC.

inability to sync business contacts properly (listing them by business name rather than the absent last name) is annoying, (happens on my S56) but I think that it's either a bug you're going to have to live with, or a shortcoming of your (and my) phone that you're going to have to live with....

Yeah.
Guess I'll just sync once to get the majority of the contacts on there (does a great job with contacts that have a personal contact attached to the business name), but then perform a double-entry on any new contacts.
I wish iSync/address book had the feature (like in Outlook) to "File As". Sure makes things easy.
Thanks.

Found OnSync, which does a much better job syncing contacts.
I highly recommend for anyone experiencing similar problems as I, or unhappy with iSync in general.
