Default Sync Googlemail Contacts - Autosave of Google Contacts

Hi,

i use goglemail and own a Tattoo. When i sync my Tattoo with the Google contacts, there will be also all "mail only" contacts synced. So i have all the mail adresses under the contacts section on my Tattoo - not really clear. Is there the possibility to deactivate the auto-sync function in Googlemail or apply a filter on the contacts on the Tattoo?
It is not fine to see every Ebay or Company upport contact on the Tattoo.
I support all my contacts in Outlook - but one place to support is more than comfortable.
The Milestone ought to have a function to show only the Google contacts that where created by the user - is there something like that for the Tattoo? How does you manage the contacts?

kind regards

My solution:
if i think i wiil need the email address in the future, i save the contact by the name, like everyone else. if i think i will never use the email address again, i delete it. I don't want kaos in my PC google contacts just as i don't want kaos in my phone. I save all my important emails (money transactions info and similar), so i can still find the email addresses in the archives should there be need for that.

I see how that could not be the perfect solution for everyone, but I assure you, it is working very well.

Mmhh,

not the badest option. At this time i save the contacts in outlook and deleted the unused contacts in google. But now i missed importend mail adresses - this will be filled up in the near future.
I hope that the adresses will not trash my phone contacts.
