There is no option for this, please believe me. People --> Groups button on the bottom --> Add group, delete group.

EDIT: If you're fed up, fine. Same help I've been getting.

You know what half your issue is?
You expect support. This is a forum. Not a "paid" forum, not a official (sprint-wise) hero forum, just a forum on the internet. People VOLUNTEER their time and patience to try to help people. No one gets paid and no one gets anything out of it. The way you post is demanding. "I demand support" "I demand it work this way" "I don't care for your answer" "I don't care for your post" etc. You get the point.

So why don't you thank the people who offered up suggestions and tried to help you instead of telling them to **** off since it isn't ideal. Be grateful that someone took the time to help you.

/end rant

Plus you said you use it for business and thats why you do it. I dont use it for business, so its not really the same thing.

Thank you for the useful post. Really couldnt give a shit if they are formatted properly since this post was about *not syncing them*.

Ok, here we go....

1. You're fired
2. Properly formatted and organized contacts are much easier to manage and, thusly, your issue would be resolved faster
3. Whether or not you use the phone for work, the principle still stands that properly organizing your contacts would alleviate much of the work you are complaining about doing.
4. If you stick with Android, all this "Work" that you are bitching about would be a one time deal. You do it, its done. Game over.
5. By the time i finish writing this post, you could be half done
6. you owe me $5 for the tech support.

Watch this!

"Hey i don't recognize this contact. Deleted. Oh, shit! same with his one! Deleted. Oh hey! thats Jim! Added to contacts group" et cetera, et cetera, ad nauseum.

Check that out! i just did three contacts, and i'm off to a good start! The best part is, I'll never have to do this again!

Lol! =D>

BTW I posted in here earlier that when you first set up the sych account it gave you an option to selct what group to synch. That was incorrect. However since I now have my Hero I can tell you that if you go to Contacts and select the groups tab you can press menu then select synch groups. That brings up a list of all the groups in your gmail account and you can select which ones you want to synch. if you deselect all of them then the contacts dissappear from the list on the phone... You're welcome.
