Create two separate playlist, one for the iphone and one for the ipod. Drag in the songs you want for each playlist and then just sync these playlists to the appropriate device.
There are multiple ways to get around this issue, and I've detailed one below. Before trying that, though, see if this solves your problem:
- Select the iPhone in the iTunes sidebar. Go to the Music tab and look at what music is syncing.
- I expect maybe only the "Purchased" playlist is syncing, and that's why. If that's the case, simply select
and you're set!
Here's the other fix, if that doesn't work:
- Select the iPhone in the iTunes sidebar. Find the tick box that looks like this:
and make sure it's checked. - Go to Music in the sidebar and select everything (Tip: ⌘ (command or control) A!).
- Drag everything to your iPhone.

There is no need to use iTunes for this purpose as of iOS 5. It is now ridiculously easy to delete songs. Simply swipe horizontally on any track title and you are presented with an option to delete the song.
