Dont have a 4G, but i'm thinking you're going to have to RE-IMPORT.

Yep, you have to delete the existing phonebook and import it again.

Omaralt,
It doesnt re-import every time you get in, you will need to re-import manually to update new contacts. No need to delete the phonebook, just re-import. BTW, I have a 4 (before had a 3) they work the same for this purpose.

Omar, go to your "INFO" button and then follow the screen instructions. It should have an option to "Import Phonebook". Just hit that option and it should do it automatically.

Unfortunately in the 2012s (as per omaralt), the phonebook DOES import every time. Huge PITA.
