I don't have a SMC 3456 configured but I don't think the patch solves all
issues - from an e-mail discussion with Chris:
"I believe, after extensive testing and eliminating one by one of my 55 Gmail
contacts, I have found the issue why my Contacts were not being seen in SMC
3456 but your were - It seems that the character "&" is not accepted somewhere
during the import/conversion from Phonebook Contacts to the SMC 3456.
The contact "Chris & Laura Parfitt" is the one that should be preventing the
SMC 3456 from downloading any of the Gmail contacts to the SMC 3456.
If you change this to "Chris and Laura Parfitt" it will then work correctly
Note the "&" works fine on the Polycom set Contact Directory "
The patch is OK (we should consider an entry to be valid if first name or last
name are not empty) but it needs to be enhanced with special chars escaping
functionality.
