The address book on a phone is not expected to be a chat client. When I delete contacts from my N800, they're not deleted from the server. When I delete contacts on my PC from Evolution, they're not deleted from the server. Each of these apps/contact lists holds my contacts' IM accounts.

I delete my contact from my phone regularly because of sync problems that occur every now and then. It would be absurd if I couldn't do it without deleting my jabber-roaster as well.
