Thanks, seems fair, only then I would have to store this random number on my 
device, or entrys will not get synced, but duplicated.
Having a device that doesn't allow for that, best I can come up with is some 
scrambled version of one of the entrys and perhaps a prefix.

Did I understand right then, when I have 2 times the same entry once in my 
kaddressbook and once on the device, there is no way, that these entrys will 
get synced, as I don't know the ID of the kaddressbook entry.

    I wouldn't do that. You can't imagine how fast such a duplicated
    formatted name will appear in a real production environment.

    Whenever you create a new Addressee object the uid is initialized
    automatically by a random, 10 character long string.
    If you want to do the initialization manually, use
      KApplication::randomString( 10 )

    Ciao,
    Tobias
