Description
I use gnokii plugin combined with the kdepim plugin. When I type in a telephone number in kaddressbook with spaces or dashes in it, it gets converted to a number without dashes or spaces in my phone. However When I sync again the kdepim plugin assumes that the number in my phone is different from the number in kaddressbook and makes a new entry, while they are basically the same telephonenumber.

This is maybe a duplicate of http://www.opensync.org/ticket/289
Note: See

The modification of the telephone number is done by the gnokii-sync plugin. libgnokii (or the cellphone) only allow a limited number of characters. (IIRC [0-9], p, w, #, *). This is tricky to avoid, but maybe we can workaround this in the compare function. But so far i didn't noticed that there will be created new entry in kaddressbook, i will try to reproduce this.
