Chances are that the contacts on the local iphone are mixing with the online exchange contacts.
Therefore, when you are looking on full view, you see 2 lots of contacts instead of the normal amount.
I think this should be able to be archived by:
1. Opening the contact window
2. Select the group button on top left hand corner
3. select the "From my PC" field (which is contacts stored on the local iphone).
4. Delete all contacts from that one
5. Switch back to the "all contacts" field
6. You should now only have one set
Please let me know if you are still experiencing the problem.
( I would try deleting 1 contact first and see if it reduces the size to 1 as a test run to make sure you dont delete all the contacts all togeather).
Cheers

Hi,
To get rid of the duplicates, deselect sync contacts and calendar events direct with Outlook under the info tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by selecting Apply.
On your iPhone, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Select your Exchange account. Turn Contacts and Calendars off for over the air syncing. This will erase all contacts and calendar events downloaded over the air from the Exchange server with a warning message provided indicating this will occur, but this will not erase the contacts and calendar events transferred to your iPhone direct from Outlook via the iTunes sync process.
Wait a minute or two for your Exchange online contacts and calendar events to be deleted from your iPhone.
Follow this by turning Contacts and Calendar events back on for over the air syncing with the Exchange server. You will be provided a merge prompt, which you can select.
