Could you specify which categories are changed to all caps?

I'd suspect that this is the case for categories that the Nokia
software sees as "native" categories in contrast to "user-defined" ones.

Prefixing user-defined categories to avoid name space conflicts is not  
very smart
but quite common. Like in the mime type definitions where non-standard  
mime types
are required to prefix the subtype with "x-". (E.g. application/zip  
vs. application/x-tar )
