Yes, or you can Restore the iPhone (via iTunes) and set it up as a new phone.

In iTunes, click your iPhone, then click the Info tab. Scroll to the bottom. Under "Replace information on this iPhone:" check the Contacts box. Sync.

Follow this link and it's instructions. I did it and it solved my problem.

Looks like we should just stick to synching over Mobile Me and not locally with the computer. Having two syncs seems to be what caused the trouble.
