Load your contacts to Google Contacts, or an Exchange account. Then sync to those services.

Google Contacts, is that part of my gmail account that I had to set up?

Exchange? Is that some sort of new floss package ;)

Thanks F.

Log into Gmail using the account you use with your phone (https://mail.google.com/mail), open up your Gmail contacts (left hand corner, under the Gmail logo), and create the contacts you want to see on your phone. Then switch on your phone, go MENU>Settings>Accounts & Sync. Scroll down and click on your Gmail account, and press Sync Contacts.

It just all happens, very magic, just put your stuff into gmail and it appears on your phone, pictures and all, if I was cleaver a picture of a VDSL2 filter might happen also.
