So last night I finally figured out how to sync my gmail and contacts list.
However now I see that there are 2 of every contact on my phone in the msg and phone menus.
One has an "o" listed as other and not linked to gmail, the other has no "o", is linked to gmail and has all the phone number dashes in the correct spots!
My question is, why did this happen, and is there a safe way to get ride of the unnecessary contact?

Thanks
 
Hmmm...I think there is an option in the contacts where you can chose what to show i.e. only google contacts, only sim contact, only phone contacts. But yes technically both entries will be there, it's just that it will only show one.
I also would like to know if there is any wauy of 'fusing' both entries and only making it one
