Anyone who has been using their Google Account's ActiveSync knows this is total crap, because their entire contact list lives on Google's servers already.

Not only that, but what about the syncing of Google contacts built into address book and the 'Contacts' pane of your iPhone in iTunes?

That part is just plain wrong.
Was there an option to selectively transfer (i.e., some or none) of the iPhone Contacts database to Google when using Google Voice?

If so, I'd imagine that would have put GV on an equal footing with established Apple<-->Google Contacts sync'ing. If not, then the fix would appear to be straightforward.
