Contacts

Use the Contacts application to store and manage all your numbers, email addresses, and other contact data in one place. Just tap on a contact to see all communications with that contact in one easy overview.

You can add new contacts in your phone and synchronise them with contacts saved

in your Google™ account, Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync® account, or other accounts that support synchronisation. The Contacts application automatically creates new entries and also helps you match data such as email addresses with existing entries. You can also manage this process manually. For more information, go to www.sonymobile.com.
