Welcome to the forums - thanks for signing up!

I wouldn't have thought your apps would be on your SD card... they are, however, linked to your google account... when you link your phone to your google account, your phone should start downloading them automatically!

Let us know if you need more help!

No need to apologise... it's what we're here for!!

You should be able to sync your contacts with your gmail account... when you input a new contact, your phone should ask you if you want the contact as a phone only or a google contact (or something like this)... if you go to your gmail, in your contacts it then adds a phone number to the contact too.

I can't remember if you need to set it up to sync or not (I do not use HTC Sense) - I'm sure someone else will be able to advise on that though!

Sorry... can't help you there... I haven't used HTC's Sense UI (or any of the widgets that come with it) in such a long time that I can't remember how to do it... I am sure that one of the other members will come back to you on this one soon though!

Given the limitations of storing contacts on the SIM (you're limited to 100 contacts and you can't really associate any metadata with those contacts), using the SIM to store contacts has been done away with on Android. They now give you the option to sync to the "cloud" instead. It's pretty easy to do and once done, you don't need to worry about losing your contacts if you lose/change your phone.

Take a look here for instructions.
