Hello All...I've been reading these forums a lot and this is my first post!
I tried the instructions listed here
http://forums.everythingicafe.com/threads/how-to-make-a-group-in-contacts.4578/
to create my Contact groups. My contacts from Outlook 2007 automatically showed up in the "Main Identity's Contacts" folder, so I didn't have to re-enter anything. I then docked my iPhone and went into iTunes, under the Info tab, and changed the Contact Sync Option to "Windows Address Book" and synced. It prompted me to overwrite existing Outlook contacts with the ones from Windows Address Book or merge them both. Since the contacts are all the same in both places, I merged them. Which actually there won't be anything to merge because the contacts in both places are identical. This just gives you the ability to sync the groups you just created in the Windows Address Book to your iPhone. After the sync, I went back into iTunes and changed the Contact Sync Option to "Outlook". It prompted me again to choose overwrite existing contacts or merge. I chose Merge once again. That gave me the ability to keep my contact group lists that I made and continue to use Outlook 2007 as my sync program of choice. I suppose if/when you wanted to add/modify your contact groups, you'd have to follow that procedure again.
This was just something I tried to actually see if it would work! It did! I know it's a bit much, but it will work for me until someone comes up with something better/easier.
Thanks to

I hope this will help someone! Sorry for the long post.
Good Day All
