I could care less about surfing the web or any email processing. This may change in the future but I doubt it. I'm really concerned about your comment that finding names is difficult. With my current phone (touch screen), I can access a keyboard as part of the screen and start typing in a name (first or last) and as I enter characters the results list reduces in size. Normally when I've entered 3-5 characters that is enough to select from what I see on the screen. From your comment I suspect that the iPhone has nothing like this. Have you tried the GPS functions? For me this would be a major plus. Can the iPhone sync with MS Outlook (2003 or 2007) – I need my contacts (all 1000 of them) my calendar, todo list, notes.

I see that you need a smart group that you can't create, but don't worry. The iPhone doesn't seem to allow me to use my Smart Groups! I have several Smart Groups in my Address Book, but I cannot find a way to view these in my iPhone. :( I am looking for information about how to include a ‘Smart Groups’ or ‘Smart Groups’ list on my iPhone.

I guess I didn't think winnowing out only 10 contacts was enough to bother with, so I didn't even try it. But looking at it now, there's not a single Smart Group in the list of available groups to sync. So the improvements required here are more substantial than just in Address Book itself. @Carmatter: Hey, you’re right, none of my Smart Groups appear in the Contacts sync settings.

I made a smart group of just entries with phone numbers, but it doesn't show up as an option for syncing, and doesn't appear on my iPhone when I sync all groups.
