Using Android 2.1, when entering a new contact on the phone, we had three storage options - phone, gMail, and SD card. Now, with 2.2, these options appear to be gone. New contacts entered on the phone are stored to the phone but don't auto-sync to gMail. New contacts entered into gMail on the PC auto-sync to the phone, as normal.

Bug or cockpit error? Thanks.

Open the Contacts app, tap on the menu button -> More -> Settings -> Save new contacts to -> (Choose what you'd like).

I just barely found this today after having 2.2 for months!
