account, or other accounts that support the syncing of contacts. The Contacts application
automatically tries to join new addresses with existing contacts, to create single entries.
You can also manage this process manually. For more information, go to

Opening the Contacts application for the first time
The first time you open the Contacts application, you get hints on how to start adding
contacts to your phone. This is a good time to choose a method that suits your situation
and setup.
Getting contacts into your phone
There are several ways to add your existing contacts and other data into your new phone:
Synchronize your phone with contacts already stored with an online synchronization service, such as
Sony Ericsson Sync or Google Sync™.
Import contacts from a SIM card. You may not be able to transfer all information from one phone to
another using this method because of limited memory on the SIM card.
Import contacts from a memory card.
Use a Bluetooth™ connection.
Send contacts via messaging services such as SMS, MMS or email.
The online synchronization method works best for most users. This way, you always have a
backup online.
