I've emailed my contact at gen-i who has escalated it. But imagine Oct 12th and every bodies contacts are screwed.... general public would have no idea what's wrong.
Other carriers are experiencing the same issues so its not just telecom nz.

I got a reply on a bug tracker issue i had opened.
"After further investigation it has been determined that this is a known issue, which is currently being investigated by engineering. This issue has been filed in our bug database under the original Bug ID"
The problem started with 5 Beta 7 I think and has continued with 5 Beta GM.
It has something to do with New 3G networks (I have been told) (i.e. Telecom) and the way they send the calling number to the Phone (the formatting) . I believe the iPhone can't match it to a number stored on the phone (associated with a name) so it just shows the number.
i.e. Vodafone/2Degrees send as "021xxxxxx" and telecom send as "021 xxxxxx" (I don't know exactly) and the iPhone can't determine 021 xxxxxx is the same as 021xxxxxx as stored on the phone.
Or maybe (I may be completely wrong) someone who really knows the reason can comment :-)
