How do I filter contacts for only ones to download to a cell phone

[Retail IT Greg]

I'm running Outlook 2002 in WindowsXP. I have more contacts in Outlook than
my cell phone can handle. I want to filter Outlook contacts to select just
those I want to carry in my cell phone.

I have two Outlook Contact folders, the root folder containing all contacts
and a daughter folder containing ones for my cell phone. I've started by
exporting the root folder contacts to Excel, where I've sorted and filtered
to mark ones for the cell phone. I plan to import this subset to the
daughter "cell phone only" Outlook Contacts folder and synch my phone to this
folder.

Is this the easiest approach?

This would be a question to ask the makers of your synchronization software.
We would have no way of knowing how it works.
