Hi all,

I just bought my first android phone - it's a Garmin-Asus A10.

I'm struggling a bit with the contacts application. I have some contacts on my SIM card, from my previous phone (which was not Android based). When I try to import the contacts from my SIM card, they appear in my contacts list for a while (several hours sometimes), then they disappear again. I understand it is something to do with my contacts list in gmail. Can someone explain to me how android manages contacts, what happens when I import from SIM, and what I need to do to keep my SIM contacts permanently in the contacts list in my phone.

THX.
