1.) Model Number ? HTC Magic
2.) Firmware Version ? 1.5

Hello,
I am trying to sort out my new HTC Magic but ran into problems when I synced my contacts. I downloaded my contacts from gmail and was happy to see all of them on my mobile. Then I went to settings\data sync\turned off background data (to avoid being charged for data usage unknowingly). Next i went to contacts\settings\edit sync groups and turned off sync all contacts. The next thing I know is that all my contacts disappeared.

I repeated the process of syncing my contacts again, turned off background data but not 'sync all contacts'. My contacts were back. Is this an issue with my phone or does it generally work this way. Do I have to keep 'sync all contacts' or any group like 'My contacts' ticked all the time? Will I not get charged for data usage if I keep them ticked? I will be glad to get an answer from you all.
