... I got it. The current limit on notes entries in Calendar
and Contacts is 5k.

I know this because it's right in the registry. The key below was in the
2003 models, but the OS didn't pay attention to this key. In Windows Mobile
5.0, there have been development changes...
This is no guarantee and I bear no responsibility because a registry hack is
involved (backup your registy and device), however this works on my UTStarcom
6700...
Get yourself a registry editor... I use Resco Explorer 2005 (include reg
editor)
And apply this hack...

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync]
"BodyTruncation"=dword:00005000

this will get you 20 kB in your notes section instead of 5 kB. That was
enough for me, I have not yet experimented with higher limits. Maybe someone
else can (but backup your device). Maybe I'll get time.

So, I would upload a reg file but I don't think I can here.

So, use the above modification, that is, go to the above registry key and
change the
BodyTruncation key to "Dec" = "20480" or "Hex" = 5000, as you see above. The
former value is "5120" (Dec), which is 5120 bytes. The new value will be
20480 bytes.
Save the value. Reset your device.
The above info seemed to sort out my issues with my Outlook notes being truncated, and I believe it also works with Contact notes.
It worked with my X51v with WM5, so it might be worth seeing if similiar registry keys exist for WM2003 or WM2003SE.
