Is there a way to show only contacts with phone numbers in my contact list? I have a lot of email contacts and I don't need to see them all, I just want the phone number contacts. Is this possible?

I just got my new Cingular 8215 and love it. I am on the road and the ability to access email is fantastic. However, I have found that I have to scroll through a LOT of Outlook contacts before I make it to my SIM contacts when dialing a number.
I know that I can just start dialing or typing a name (smart dial), but it would really be nice to ONLY see my SIM contacts when scrolling down the contact list when dialing a phone number.
Most of my Outlook contacts are only email address, so it is a waste of space and time for dialing!
Any ideas/suggestion/comments?
Thanks!

Hey all,
So I have the Rogers Dream, and whenever I go into my contacts app, it doesn't show any of my contacts. However, if I wanted to send a new text to someone, I can start typing a letter or whatnot and it will show their name and number perfectly. How do I go about correcting this issue?
Also, how come my dream won't sync to my PC? It only sees it when I activate the USB mode, I want to be able to sync my contacts over to my PC. How can I make this happen?
Thank you for your help!
Ok, on the phone open up the contacts app. Hit menu>edit sync groups. Make sure sync all contacts is checked. Hit ok. Menu>display group select all contacts and hit ok. If your contacts still dont show up then you need to get on your computer and log into your gmail account and check to see if you have contacts listed there. If there are no contacts there or not the right ones im guessing your contacts are on your sim card. If this is the case then in the contacts app menu>import contacts.
There is no real sync to pc option on the Dream. Your contacts, calendar, etc. are all synced automatically with Googles servers. If you want access to that info on your PC then you just have to log in to your gmail account and you can see your contacts, calendar, etc.
Hey thanks for the help with the contacts not showing up, I just had to change the view mode from All to Contacts with numbers and then back again. It must have been a glitch.
Anyways, since I can't sync them in the terms I am thinking, how can I send the contacts back to the SIM card? I have yet to see an option for that
I am having an issue with sense storing text messages from the same numbers under separate threads on my TMOUS. One thread for the Sim contact entry of the phone number and one thread for the HD2's stored contacts that I have imported from the SIM...Its really annoying.
In the phone tab you can easily change "View" to Contacts so that you don't have to look at duplicates of every single entry every time you enter your phonebook but when I compose a new text message there is no way to have the sense only show me the HD2's contacts. It always shows me all the duplicate entries of the same numbers SIM contacts and as well as tabs for the same contacts that were imported to the device.
In order to not lose my contacts permanently, do I have to save my SIM contacts externally, import them to my phone then delete them off my SIM in order to have my phone contacts (which are superior to SIM bc I can load them with multiple numbers email addresses, etc) be the only contacts and threads sense makes in the messaging app???
There has to be an easier way to resolve this? What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for the help...
Under the contacts menu of the streak everything is fine, but if I use another app or widget that access' my contacts, such as facebook sync or picture dial, I have multiple entries for each person, none of which are what is shown in my actual contacts list. For example someone has their phone number, email and picture (synced from facebook) in my actual contacts list, but in the program theres 3 versions, one with email and picture, one with just email and one with phone and email. It means when i try and use picture dial I cant select one that all the info it needs.
I also noticed that in the actual contacts list it doesnt seem to matter what sync options i set or what sub group im currently supposed to be looking at, it always shows the same contacts. For instance it won't show my gmail contacts even if i tell it to. It doesn't bother me, but I don't know if the two issues are related.
Any ideas anyone? Is there anyway to bulk get rid of all contacts? Then i could just get my computer to sync all the contacts back on again, though I'd have to go through and link them to facebook again so I'd rather not if i can avoid it.
Any help appreciated!
I cant seem to save a new contact, no matter which way i save it either by adding contacts from a new phone call or entering a new contact, when I first save it, all the previous call numbers from that contact change to the contacts name then within a few minutes it reverts back again and if i search for the new contact it has disappeared.
any help would be appreciated.
Im using the generic contact address book
Did you have the right sync groups selected? when creating a contact you can assign the contact to group. If this group is not synced this will not shown as a new contact on your phone. When the contact is not assigned to group you must select "sync all contacts". this will include also your mail-contacts from google.
