Windows Live Messenger Mobile synching: too ‘smart’ for its own good?

Windows_live_messenger_mobileBear with me while I gather myself here: looks like mild food poisoning from this weekend’s excursion, which has slowed me up today and kept me offline for a bit. I’m feeling well enough to start checking some RSS feeds and I saw a warning from the::unwired that merited a pass-through. Arne Hess cautions us that Windows Live Messenger Mobile for smartphones has wiped out his Outlook contacts. I’m not a WLM user, so I can’t verify, but according to Arne a "feature" to sync your IM contacts and your Outlook contacts might have unintended effects. Namely, you’ll could have duplicate contacts or worse yet: in an extreme and specific situation, you could lose most of your contacts. Check out Arne’s post for the particulars. I haven’t had my contacts wiped, but I’m feeling wiped out so TTYL.
