It appears that if you add a contact to gmails contact list the only way to remove it is via gmail, even if you delete it off your phone. I dont think this is really a bad idea because in the event that you mistakenly delete someone it will still be up on gmail.
OK, I took this one step further just to test a more few things. Somehow gmail knows which contacts you have deleted off your phone because even though they stay on your gmail contact list they dont resync. I tested this by adding a new contact on gmail while leaving the previously deleted contacts in place. I then checked my phone and only the new contact synced to the phone. I have to say, its pretty impressive.
