Hey everyone, since switching to the Droid X last month then this week to Samsung Vibrant to save money and its has a way better UI, i discovered that both do NOT have the option to Sync your Gmail groups. (samsung has easy to assign groups only for the new phone contacts, not the gmail list)
Trust me, the "groups" are in the background though - just moto and samsung forgot to allow us to see them. HTC does show groups in its default contacts list and allows you to edit a contact and assign them to one or more gmail groups, or create a new gmail group.
If you download handcent sms for texting, theres a tab for groups and all of your GMAIL groups are there. I would have preferred the native sms to blast to gmail groups, but cant with Moto or Samsung.
I also download aContacts. Like Handcent, aContacts allows you to see all your group members, and call them one at a time instead of searching for one member at a time. Really cool UI, but a little glitchy.
*** Why 3rd party dev can allow us to see our gmail groups, but Moto and Samsung cant with all its resources can't, should be embarassing to them. Now the only thing is missing is how to assign a group to a contact that I just met and entered in my phone. Lets say at a business mtg I met someone and wanted to group them as a "client." Cant do that now. I need to go to gmail, remember to find that contact and add them to the "client" group. If someone has a better solution, please share!!! thanks
