So this is question #1: How do I edit the contact on my N9 to make it sync to MfE?
Also I discovered that I have two copies of some of my contacts (one that got copied to Nokia Suite and one that didn't and does sync to MfE), but N9 contacts application is showing only the latter. The contacts in question don't seem to have been merged (at least there is no un-merge option) and test deleted a contact via Nokia Suite doesn't alter anything visibly on the N9. Also the information contained is not necessary identical, but the Nokia Suite version is nowhere to be located in the N9.
So this is question #2: What is going on?
I currently sync only one Nokia, the N9 with my PC
Thanks for any ideas on this peculiar situation.
When it comes to syncing, Nokia always advices to use only either Nokia Suite or Mail For Exchange...you can probably alternate, but don't enable both at the same time or else you'll get duplicated/mixed up contacts and contact details. This is true even for models prior to the N900/N9, etc. I learned my lesson the hard way.

@topet2k12001 and @PhatApteryx, trust me this is not where the issue lies. Nokia Suite is a dead-end synchronization, as the contacts from there don't go to MfE again (say via Thunderbird/Outlook).
Okay, you guys really make me sweat here, I feel like making a nifty info-graphics on my HP tablet to drop in my Dropbox (hey anyone care to earn me some referral bonus space quota?
okay this is sooo off topic) to illustrate the issues at hand: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/73137381/N9...%20diagram.PNG 
Thanks!

- As well as, what's up with #4, where it came from and how do I convert it to MfE sync item?
Thanks!

And just discovered that there is some discrepancy in the contact fields going on.
Interestingly, my old E60 had no issues syncing live via MfE and syncing contacts with Nokia Suite (for the purpose of recognizing the SMS addresses).
