It will be the phone most likely, but could also be something like a CRM application.

If you change the contacts to Category view, you can add Created Date. You will probably find that the creation date for the duplicates is the same.
Very common unfortunately, it is usually caused by a third party app touching the contact and modifying it in such a way that the device and/or Exchange thinks it is a new contact.
