my iPhone contacts list is too long

The mac can sync your entire address book to your iPhone. The problem is that most of my entries don’t include phone numbers thus I find myself scrolling endlessly through tons of names that I can not call.

I created a “smart group” that is “entries where phone is set” but it turns out that you can’t sync smart lists to the iPhone. You also can’t sync “subscribed” calendars to your iPhone. You can sync smart lists of music to your iPhone, I guess because music is more important than getting things done in the hippy dippy Apple world.

Pissed. Me. Off.

So, does anyone have a suggestion of how to deal with a 987-entry contacts list that only has 408 entries with phone numbers?
