Messenger - filter contacts

[WxAxGxS]

Still new (< 2 full days) to Vibrant and Android, so I'm not sure if this should go here or in an android forum, but here it goes:

A friend recommended I download Handcent SMS, but I've found I like the built in Messenger a little better... with one caveat. Is there a way to filter the contact list to just contacts on the phone or at least contacts with numbers? It currently includes every single person on Facebook as well as apparently every person I have ever e-mailed with gmail over the last 6 years.

Contacts -> Groups -> Google.

That works fine for my conacts list, but it did nothing to filter the list in Messenger. As far as I can tell there are no filter options for the built-in messenger unless they're in a non-obvious location...
