You can select which contacts you want to display in your phonebook. You can select an option which only displays contacts with a phone number.

Click "People" then press "Menu" and select "View". You can then check the boxes I was referring to above.

Hopefully this will work for you.

Sorry it didn't help, mate.

The only other thing I can think of is manually deleting the e-mail contacts from the phone itself or from your contacts on Googlemail/GMail.

yeh think ill do that, just thoguht using the option to only show contacts with a phone number would be useful

thanks
 
No worries, mate. I'm just sorry I couldn't help more and that the "only show contacts with a phone number" didn't work.

ive deleted all the email contacts in my gmail account but its not syncing with the phone unless of course ive not done something right,
 
Hmm this bugs me as well, as it lists everyone including email and Facebook contacts even though they're not selected for the phone book view. Fortunately now my text threads are established to my regular contacts, I just use them.
 
Well ive just checked my phone and juts the mobile numbers are listed under recipients so its worked but it took a while, thanks to jb for his help
