I can't figure this out. I had some contacts that were starred in my moto droid. I didn't want them starred anymore so I choose the star and un-starred them. it deleted the contacts!

I now have frequently called people with only a email address and no phone numbers or addresses anymore!

I went into contacts and hit the menu key. I then choose display options. I tried playing around with the settings and now I have lost more then 3/4 of my contacts

I tried clicking the same boxes again to no avail.

What the heck is going on here and what did I do wrong? This is a phone. I doubt motorola overlooked something this big.

I have system group: my contacts and Starred in android checked. I am still missing a LOT of my contacts.
