Problem is that the merged Contacts doesn't recognize the same phone number represented a little differently internally and by skype as being the same. This causes duplication of information and functionality that fills the contact screen(s). SOFTWARE VERSION: Maemo 5, 1.2009.42-11 EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM: (Explain in detail what you do (e.g. tap on OK) and what you see (e.g. message Connection Failed appears)) 1. Add a contact with a phone number (will be added by the application as +xxxxxxxxxxx) 2. Configure skype with a contact that in their information has the same phone number, though written a little differently (+xxx xx xxx xxx) 3. Merge the two contacts above EXPECTED OUTCOME: The user's two equal phone numbers written a little differently should show as just one phone number (either as "+xxxxxxxxxxx" or "+xxx xx xxx xxx"). ACTUAL OUTCOME: The user seems to have two phone numbers causing the UI to offer several duplicate functionalities (Mobile, SMS, Call with Skype). REPRODUCIBILITY: Always EXTRA SOFTWARE INSTALLED: Skype OTHER COMMENTS: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/532.0 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/3.0.195.33 Safari/532.0
Actually this doesn't have anything to do with the difference in the phone numbers. It happens with equal numbers aswell.
I confirm the bug. I have the same problem with a skype contact. It's impossible to delete the second phone number (imported from skype).
I hope that the fix will include also the possibility to delete the duplicated phone number.

Personally I would like both numbers stay as they are, just not show them both or at least not offer all the duplicate functionalities (Mobile, SMS, Call with Skype). If the one I added is deleted and the contact changes their number in Skype, will I lose the one I added for good? If the one added through Skype is removed and the contact changes their number in Skype, will I get an update?

I may be mistaken, but AFAIK the address book should only mask duplicate numbers, and never delete something the user has entered. If it does otherwise, it's a ticketable offense :)
This has been fixed in package libosso-abook 4.20091214.1.0rtc+0m5 which is part of the internal build version 2009.52-6 (Note: 2009 is the year, and the number after is the week.) A future public update released with the year/week later than this internal build version will include the fix. (This is not always already the next public update.) Please verify that this new version fixes the bug by marking this bug report as VERIFIED after the public update has been released and if you have some time. To answer popular followup questions: * Nokia does not announce release dates of public updates in advance. * There is currently no access to these internal, non-public build versions.

Setting explicit PR1.2 milestone (so it's clearer in which public release the fix will be available to users). Sorry for the bugmail noise (you can filter on this message).
