With my android phone I could sync my contacts with my facebook friends list and my yahoo email contact list. Can I do that with my new iphone? In looking at the phone, it appears that I need to enter all my contacts manually - there must be a better way. android was so simple!

iPhone 4S

You sync with your contacts on the computer through iTunes

There is an app, i think its on sale as well, called Contacts Plus. Look it up and see if it will do the job for you

Hope this helps

You don't store contacts in iTunes, it's simply the means to sync. You use a program (i.e. address book on Mac, Outlook on Windows) and then select them within iTunes

Scroll down to the contacts section for more info
