So, you’ve bought your Nokia 5800 and are happy as punch with it. You charge the battery, get it up and running and crack on with getting the contacts on to the SIM card into the phone.
But where are they? Seems some people are having trouble importing their Contacts into the 5800. Don’t worry, the solution is a simple one, just read on…
The lack of contacts showing up on the Nokia 5800 was something that was brought to our attention by a few NokNok users but before we could proper look into it, a user calling himself Newby, cracked the code and showed us the answer.
The solution is actually hidden away on the O2 support site but we've put it here in full to make life a little easier.
To add the names and numbers stored on the SIM card to the contacts list in Contacts,
1. Press the 'Menu' key (white key).
2. Tap 'Contacts' and 'Open' (press the Navi key).
* If this is the first time you have used the phone, it will ask you 'Copy new SIM contacts to Contacts?', tap 'Yes' (left soft key). If this doesn't happen then continue with the steps below.
3. Tap 'Options' (left soft key).
4. Tap 'Settings'.
5. Tap 'Contacts to display'.
6. Tap the contacts you wish to have displayed and a tick will appear next to them, then tap 'OK' (left soft key).
7. Tap 'Back' (right soft key).
8. SIM card contacts will now show up on the contacts screen, with a SIM card icon next to them.
To copy contacts from your SIM to your phone,
1. Press the 'Menu' key (white key).
2. Tap 'Contacts' and 'Open' (press the Navi key).
3. Tap 'Options' (left soft key).
4. Tap 'Mark/Unmark', you can now either mark the contact that you have highlighted, or mark all your contacts.
5. Tap 'Options' (left soft key).
6. Tap 'Copy'.
7. Tap 'Phone memory'.
We want to thank NokNok user Newby for cracking this one. Great work fella!
