Re: another reason as if we need one...
If I read you correctly it seems MS will delete your Ovi/Nokia Sync contacts then sync an empty contact book to your phone. If I still had a Symbian phone my response would be "fuck you too very much MS".
Can't you just stop syncing your contacts to Ovi/Nokia Sync and then use a SyncML server or ownCloud with a plugin instead?
