yes, this is a problem i had, and i unfortunately didn't know the way 
out initially, and wiped a load of addresses from the Address Book

if you open AB, then create a Phone directory

then go to iSync and click on your phone symbol, the drop down window 
will show that the phone sync with "All Contacts", if you open the   
bar, it will now include Phone, set this up

if you now sync, it should add the phone's addresses to that BUT SHOULD 
NOT WIPE ANY ADDRESSES from the main directory

then drag and drop all the addresses in the main directory that you 
want to be included on the phone and do another sync

this time the phone should have all the addresses names and phone 
numbers you want

(it may well be worth waiting for someone else to confirm this method 
before jumping in, if i have this wrong you will lose a load of 
addresses (those you have deleted from the phone), and i have now 
decided never to delete addresses from the phone unless i also want to 
delete them from the address book, i do all that from my mac - far from 
perfect but it works
