Some issues with Contacts and Gmail

[tiki]

Here's a weird thing..

I created a new group in my gmail.

i called it "android" and set the G1 to only display that group.

so i move over all my contacts from "my contacts" into the "android" group

i sync up with gmail, and theres the "android" contacts on my phone.


however, i see one i dont need on the phone, so i delete it and resync.

guess what?

not only did it delete that contact from the "android" group..

but IT DELETED IT FROM ALL MY CONTACT GROUPS including "my contacts"

thats dumb. it should just delete it from the group you were viewing.


we need a "delete from group" option

or at least the ability to move a contact in/out of groups

otherwise we are stuck managing our contacts from a real computer :/

lol I would just do it through gmail. But yea sucks you can't do it through the phone

At the moment I'm not terribly impressed with the contact app anyway. I think the first time someone comes up with a standalone address book for the phone, I'll be using that one.

I'm kind of let high and dry trying to convert my old Palm addressbook to Gmail. I can do it, but it will require so much hand editing of the CSV file that I might as well just enter them all back in manually.

Ask me how much I'm looking forward to that!
