This works, and nicely creates a gmail version of what you had on the palm with all your groups (Personal, Doctors, Business, etc). These get synced to the Droid - great! However: on the droid they're all merged into one huge contact list, with no groups visible I can see. ARGH.
Actually, it is. When in contacts, go to Menu -> Display Options and select your gmail account. Then scroll down and check/uncheck which groups you want to see.

The group on gmail isn't even visible in Edit Contact.
Now this one I'm trying to find. I'd think it was there somewhere!

Another note: you probably want to check the VCF files *before* importing - look for --Unnamed-- entries (probably because you had a Company name with no personal name) - those will all end up merged into a single huge --Unnamed-- contact. I advise copying the organization name into the last name field with your text editor.

Still looking for some way to sort by something other than first name, and to get working groups....
