Have you ever read an article where the title pretty much tells you everything there is to know? Yeah, this article is basically one of those. DupeDeDupe is an applications for Windows Mobile devices that searches for duplicate contacts from your address book.Paul at MoDaCo wrote the utility, and it's designed to work with AppToDate, which means you can automatically download any future updates.
DupeDeDupe compares each contact's "file as" and email fields as well as home, work, and mobile phone numbers. If all of those fields match, the application considers your contact to be a duplicate.
Overall, the tool is easy to use, fast, and best of all free. It should work on any device running Windows Mobile 5.0 or newer.

Worked twice as well as expected - removed all 2800 of my contacts (Q9C, WinMo6), which were all duplicated from some Windows Vista Mobile Device Center synchronization error the night before.

...but I reboot and they're back. Very odd, but thumbs up for Dupededupe.
