No, sadly i didnt. As long as i dont sign into the google account, android let me choose to add and store a contact either "local" or "Sign in online"

But as soon as i log into my google account to use the market, the contacts app gives me the message "Your new contact will be synchronized with abc@gmail.com" and only let me choose "Add new account" or "OK" to confirm this.

But i don't want to confirm to store my contacts online.

So the best solution would be, to get this option "local" back.

I rly refuse to click on "OK" hehe. I rly save my new contacts in text files now, i have no other choice atm.

Swichted back. Installing DroidWall seem to prevent Android going to sync contacts. Those bastards had all of my contacts synched. Even with sync disabled. As******* check out googles dashboard.

So install DroidWall and only allow programms you trust internet access. There is no need to grant android internet access, especially not the contacts and calendar app... what the hell.. thinking about going back to nokia with symbian as long as its supported. Very nice phones there

Peace
