Why would the person who deleted the contact get the message? Maybe I'm just misunderstanding the function. As I read your post when two people sync and one has deleted a contact that both users have/had in their DL they would both then be deleted. EXAMPLE: As I understand what you've described: AJ deletes Steve from his DL and then syncs with Tom who also already has Steve in his DL. The sync would therefore remove Steve from Tom's DL so he would thus no longer have Steve's contact info unless he retreived it from the Trash. Would this process need to take place each time they sync? Surely I'm misreading your original post. AJ, I don’t think we’re on the same page here.

Besides, the user getting the alert would be the same user that deleted it from the device in the first place, so they are likely to say "yes" to this kind of dialog - all this unbeknownst to the first user.

If User A does not then that contact would be protected from future syncs with User B but could still be synced with User C, D, E etc if needed. I have in mind that it would be similar to when someone wants to beam me a contact. I have to click OK in order to accept the new information. This just seems better than having contacts moved to a trash where they could accidentally get deleted. And of course the frustration of searching for a contact that has been moved. -Tom AJ,
