I am looking into this problem, but can't seem to replicate it. I am
using Outlook 2002 and when i import it managed to capture the work
phone properly as business, here is what i am using:

    <div class="vcard">
    <h2>Besøk oss</h2>
    <a class="url fn org" href="http://www.palografen.no">Palografen AS</a>
     <div class="adr">
      <div class="street-address">Strandgaten 9</div>
      <span class="postal-code">5305</span><span
class="locality">Bergen</span>
    </div>
    <h2>Kontakt oss</h2>
    <h3>Telefon:</h3> <span class="tel"><span
class="type">Work</span><span class="value">40003718</span></span><br />
    <h3>E-post:</h3>  <a class="email"
href="mailto:post at palografen.no">post at palografen.no</a>
    <a id="technorati"
href="http://feeds.technorati.com/contacts/http://www.palografen.no/index.php">Last
ned vcard</a>
    </div>

and my output is:

BEGIN:VCARD
PRODID:-//suda.co.uk//X2V 0.7.16.1 (BETA)//EN
SOURCE:http://suda.co.uk/test.html
NAME:
VERSION:3.0
N:;;;;;
ORG;CHARSET=UTF-8:Palografen AS
FN;CHARSET=UTF-8:Palografen AS
EMAIL:post at palografen.no
ADR;CHARSET=UTF-8:;;Strandgaten 9;Bergen;;5305;
TEL;TYPE=work:40003718
URL:http://www.palografen.no
END:VCARD

The TYPE=work seems to be correctly being pulled. Tantek might be right,
it could be an issue with your version of Outlook? or it could be the
web service. Could you please send what version of outlook you are using?

thanks,
