First Timer needs help

[toby_nexusone]

Struggling with my first smart phone and hoping for some help on here. When i add a new contact it does not show up on my contact list although when i dial in the number or they call me the name appears on screen. I have also uploaded my current outlook address book onto my gmail account but when I sync my phone with that again it does not update. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in anticipation

If you are adding contact to phone but in settings choose show SIM contacts than it will not show. Not sure exact steps but go into contacts and settings and see if there's an option to chose which contact list to show. Phone, SIM, FB ect....
You can choose on or more

thanks - unfortunately there seems to be no home screen menu " settings"option to change where contacts are saved and also nothing on the contacts menu. Any other ideas out there?
