I just got a C3. I put the SIM in from my old SO phone and everything worked just fine, except that it can't find the contacts from my SIM. The phone claims that there are no contacts on the SIM. I find that hard to believe. Any easy fix? Or do I have to manually add everyone back in?

You might have to re-enter them manually. When you originally entered your contacts on your old phone, it looks like they were added to the phone's memory, and not the sim card. Another reason could be that maybe the C3 just isn't reading the contacts at all on your sim.

A lot of phones have a mechanism to transfer the phone numbers to the SIM card. Hopefully your old phone has that option to make life easier for you!

Transferring to the SIM might limit the data, but using bluetooth between the 2 phones might transfer it all
