sorry...but ppl need the heads up...hard to explain on my part but I know a lot of ppl with the same back name...i come from a huge family. So it really messed up thing for me.
Again..there is a Separate feature it does work...
Also some ppl might know this...it is possible to search by company names..even if there is no way to sort by them.
I have noticed that i can view by categories, and my categories did import.

Its under menu/display option/ and the email address that has your contacts.

Ah, so the separate entries remain in the categories?

the separated entries will be listed like other contacts. But when separated, you will create several contacts with the same name.
So you can now edit the individual contacts....

Is this a Droid-specific problem? Happen on other Android phones?

It happend when i first got my droid but I changed the names and the problem was fixed. It was pretty annoying but i thought it was just a mistake from when they transfered over my contacts and since it was only two ppl it wasnt a big deal.

I have a question about contacts as well. I have over three hundred in gmail but my phone says i only have 200. If i search for them they will appear long enough on my phone to call them or send them an email but they are not listed in my contacts. Do i have a setting wrong? Whats going on with this? Thanks.

Have you gone through and checked each individual contact? What appears to be happening is that it takes similar names and groops them as one contact. If this is the case you need to seperate each one.

I have seen screen shots of an automated process via gmail.com. I'm not sure if you have to export them, delete them & then re-import your contacts for this option to be displayed but it might be faster than doing it one at a time on your phone. I can also only assume your contacts will sync up properly with the newly made changes to your contacts via your gmail.com account.

Good luck!
