Sorry If this is a re-post. I think I'm having trouble getting through to the group. Have tried this reply twice previously. The Google Contacts list does not have the missing contacts, the ones I manually added to the phone. I took the phone to the Verizon store where I bought it. The sales rep took me through a procedure for manually synch'ing the phone with Contacts (Settings/Accounts/Google/[myaccount name]/Synch Contacts). The phone appeared to synch in the store - but the missing contacts are still missing. It did not synch with either Google Contacts list, or with my computers.
I'll try a factory reset. If that doesn't work, maybe there's something faulty about this sample of the phone.
