+1 for this option.  Another wrinkle of the single address book sync  
limitation is the Favourite Recipients address book.  Even if the user  
has only a single address book, if the ID of the actual address book  
lands after "Favourite Recipients" when sorted alphabetically,  
Favourite Recipients gets sent/sync'd and not the user's address book.  
  So, it's a crap shoot.

In my case I got this to work for a user by creating new address books  
until the generated ID sorted alphabetically before "Favourite  
Recipients", and then imported their contacts into that.
