Well, as much as I may agree with you the answer wasn't very helpful
as I've clearly worked this with Blackberry already. I've also seen
other posts by MVPs that indicate that indeed Outlook is configurable
regarding the form of the phone numbers stored in Contacts. So,
please ignore the reason for my question and let me know if there is
a public way to configure Outlook to store the numbers in different
ways.

Enter your phone numbers with no punctuation (i.e., ### ### ####) so that
Outlook cannot recognize it as a phone number and I think Outlook will leave
it alone. Perhaps your BB will be able to handle that.
