I have basic buttons that work in the emulator just fine, but not on the physical phone. I have been told that I should use the Organizer and look at the console, but this only seems to show crash logs. How can I trace an errors on the phone when they do not appear at all in the emulator?
you should look at the debug console in xcode, not the organizer.
open up your applications xcode project file and run the app in xcode; will display the errors for you.
the project file is in the build/iphone directory
