Is there any way to segment different contact groups? IE: have a personal contact list seperate from a corporate contact list. I want it all but having them all in one list is cumbersome. They are seperate in my Outlook account but they all end up together on the handheld. I am using the web Client if that matters.

It might be possible (depending on how you synchronize) that you could use the Category feature for this -- make sure your home Outlook has different categories at home than at work, perhaps use a prefix such as "HOMEFamily" and "HOMEFriends" and "HOMEAccquantices".

If your existing synchronization jumbles all of this together, this can be a problem.

This will get even easier; BlackberryOS 4.0 allows you to filter categories to selected multiple categories, so you can view only your Work contacts and your Home contacts this way.

Just use separate categories for work and for home and continue to keep your existing jumble, make do until BlackberryOS 4.0 comes out, then you can use the Filter feature to do this.
