Cannot group new contacts when using gmail contacts? Seriously?

[hotis300boy]

This has to be the biggest flaw software wise!!! My gmail conntacts groups do show up but I c,ant edit the group nor when I make a new contact can I group it, yet if I save the number to the phone I can do all that!!! How stupid n pointless is this

My Android 2.1 and 2.2 do not show Groups selector on a contact. I have seen some phones of both Android versions that do show the choice and some that do not have this choice. Does anyone know if there is a setting that turns on/off the abiility to have the contact selector on the contacts page? My e-mail is bklabel@aol.com
