Hi all

I have just invested in my very first iphone....yipeee!!

2 questions:

1 - How do I get my contacts from my Sony Ericsson onto my iphone without manually entering them all?

2 - If I restore my iphone in itunes, will I lose all my apps off it?

Thanks all :)

You put the sim from your SE in the iPhone, go to Settings>Mail, Contacts and Calendars>import Sim contacts.

2 - If I restore my iphone in itunes, will I lose all my apps off it?

IDK what you mean. You obviously don't have apps on your new phone. If you have apps on your computer, they'll be synced to the iPhone.

Just right click on the iPhone name in iTunes and choose transfer purchases. Then you can restore your phone and pick what apps you want to sync.
