    Not sure where to ask, but I imagine plenty people here are in the Google+ trial by now. I don't really use my Gmail account for much and only have a handful of contacts I speak with on Google Talk once in a while. If I accept this Google+ invite and make an account with my Gmail address will the friends I add on Google+ be automatically added to my Gmail contact list (and thus my Android phone) as well? I'd kind of like to avoid that and keep them isolated from other Google stuff.

    I'm not sure about that yet BUT when I was adding new people to my list, I chose to add them from MSN contacts and now I think I have new people in my phone... :D Hard to say, as I practically never browse the contacts (since they are my email contats too) but search with the dialer instead.

    I need to figure out this tomorrow. Too late for rational thinking now.

    Same here. :p Then again I also juggle between 3 google accounts on my phone. I guess you can always start a separate google account just for Google+? Then you can choose not to sync your contacts with that account on your phone.

    That sounds pretty inconvenient and annoying. Does Google think people want facebook style friends (ie: people who may be rarely spoken to) as phone/email contacts?
