How can I sync my iPhone 4S contacts to my Macbook Pro?

I just bought the iPhone 4S. I want to sync my contacts from the iPhone to my Macbook. However, I already sync someone else's iPhone to my macbook. How can I assure that these two different list of contacts do not merge? Thank You!

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1

As your MacBook only has one Address Book, you're going to end up with merged contacts if you sync two devices (whether you sync with iTunes or iCloud). About all you could do is set up two contact groups within Address Book to allow separate views of the merged contact list. Disable contacting in iTunes and sync your contacts with another service if you want them to be separate (such as Google sync http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740).
