When creating a new contact, how can I add it to Google account? I don't want to have to merge the whole list with Google (as outlined above).
On other Android phones (with the 'People' app) you can choose which account the contact will sync to, at the top of the 'new contacts' screen.
When you add an contact, below save and cancel button, you can choose which contact book will be used. By default, it's device. You can change it to any Google accounts.
