iPod ipod contact format problem

[exeterbohemian]

i've been having some difficulty with my contacts from address book being imported onto my new 5g ipod. the ipod syncs just fine through itunes, and when i look on my ipod, all of my contacts are there. however, i recently noticed some weird 'glitches' or inconsistencies in the formatting. namely, some telephone numbers will read as just a string of digits as opposed to being separated by hyphens as they are in address book (i.e. XXXXXXXXXX vs. XXX-XXX-XXXX). also, some of the thumbnail images for my contacts appear distorted or improperly cropped when viewed on the ipod. i've tried manually exporting my contacts from address book as a vcard and then putting that on my ipod instead of the isync file, but still no luck. anyone else had this problem?
