          Go to Contacts->options->settings->contacts to display - Choose SIM Memory
          Now you can see all the list.
          Come back to Contacts, and options now you can copy all contacts to Phone

                        SR, 07 Jan 2010Would you care to reply to my questions below?I agree. I won't buy a phone for its camera, even if it's 10megapixel. That is why i have a separate canon digicam. And to the others, read the review, most of your questions were answered already, especially the audio quality. There is a comparison with various phones.

                          If I buy this phone its gonna be for watching videos.
                          Display looks like it is made for watching videos.

                          But I'm waiting so that the software or hardware issue if any are sorted. Was a big problem with 5800's earphone turning out to be faulty in droves. I don't want to make a mistake.

                              Vibration is good

                              GPS and maps I disabled as I have a TomTom ( I am in Australia so cannot answer for India )

                              Does it get hot after prolonged use .. NO!

                                      I just bought this phone and have found it to everything that the spec's say it is.

                                      This phone is fresh, fun and classy!

                                      Well done Nokia for giving us something different!

                                      The speaker is a little low and tinny compared to other nokia models I have previously owned, but all in all its not that bad, I have had much worse!

                                      I love the large screen and the interactive touch takes a bit of getting use to but is so much nicer than a tiny screen with poky key pad.

                                      I dont know what all the complaining is about. Is no one ever satisfied?

                                      If you want a good digital camera, media player or mini computer then go buy one of those separately seriously a mobile phone is just that...... a phone!

                                      Get real peoples this phone is great fun!




                                      So far I have nothing really substantial to complain about!

                                        How is video playback performance on its 16:9 display? Is it awesome?
                                        How's vibration alert? Is it strong enough?
                                        How's GPS? Is it sensitive enough?
                                        And Nokia(Ovi) Maps? Are they comprehensive? Do the maps cover the whole of India?
                                        Do the phone get hot after prolong use?
