You can also set up your gmail account as an exchange account and then it will sync all of it, email, calendar and contacts.
Use m.google.com as the server and google.com as the domain.

I suspect this is just a typo. I'm not sure what's going on with your phone, I just followed the instructions I got on the web and it just worked. To set your default Contacts go into Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars and jump down to the Contacts heading. Double tapping on the default account button will let you change it. I didn't have to specify that contacts is the service I want to use. I'm assuming that's because the CardDav protocol is being used. Make sure you give the account a recognizable name so you won't get it confused with your Google IMAP account in the Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars page. For example, I see Google, Mail, Calendar, Notes Google, Contacts Note, I called both accounts Google, so I didn't follow my advice from above. The "Google, Contacts" is the CardDav account I added to sync my Google Contacts.
