Custom contact list field data is not appearing on my computer

You can only synchronize the data in a custom contact list field with a text field in the email application on your computer. For example, you cannot add a contact's birthday to a custom contact list field on your BlackBerry® device and synchronize it with the email application on your computer, because the birthday field is a date field in the email application on your computer.

Caller ID pictures are not appearing on my device

If your BlackBerry® device is associated with a Microsoft® Outlook® 2000 email account and you add a picture for a contact in the email application on your computer, verify that the file name for the picture is ContactPicture.jpg.
