Outlook formats numbers based on info in the modem settings in windows. to
bypass this, you'll need to append a letter to the front of the number
M:041234567. The contacts with it appearing as you desire were not created
in this version of outlook. (Earlier versions didn't force the modem setup)

the country is australia. That is the information in that window. But
mobile
still ends up like this (04) XXXXX and sometimes like this +61(04)XXXX

on other existing contacts mobile phone presents properly as this
041234567

something must be broken, I'll try a repair.

Outlook, or when a contacts windows is open.
