Is there a way to display only contacts with phone numbers? I have lots of contacts in my Address Book that I use on my Mac for emailing, but most of them are not people I call on the phone. As a result, my phone's contacts list is cluttered with people I would never call. Is there any way around this? I tried making a smart group that only has contacts with a phone number... but the smart group did not sync to the iPhone.

Make a Smart Group of just phone numbers. Make a New Group (not smart). Select the Smart Group. Select All and drag it to the New Group. Works perfectly.
