Contacts

I am new to the Sony Erickson and Android. My problem is that when I go in to edit a contact through the phone book I receive an error:
 
Hello there and welcome to the forum. Not seen this problem on my device so just for clarity can I ask you to confirm what version of Android you are running. I notice you are in Missouri so wondering if it is AT&T and therefore on 1.6. This will make a difference to any answers you may get.

Is your phone synced with any services... SE sync, google sync or syncing via Roadsync?
 
I am on AT&T and running android 1.6. This is a new phone so I am being careful not to make an OS upgrade as I have a 30 day return warranty. After working with this extensively over the weekend and systematically going through all menus, I decided to perform a factory reset. this did bring the contact back to normal and lost anything I had stored locally.

When I re-fired up the phone and initially went into contacts I received a menu I had never seen. It asked me if I wanted to use contact or use "work mail", the one using the figure 8 icon. It had a message that in order to edit these settings go to manage applications then settings. I'm sorry but I am unable to find these settings either before I reset the phone or since. I have learned allot about the phone though.
 
on a seperate note. is there a better app for the stock phonebook than which the x10 has? its nice and all but the blue is getting old fast.
 
Hi all, I have and Experia on att network. I had the same problem. I went into settings, applications, Manage applications. Scroll down to Work Email. I cleared everything and then Forced stop on controls. When i exited out of settings and went into contacts, i recieved an new window that asked what you wanted to be the default editor for your contacts. The options were contacts or work email. I clicked on the check box at the bottom to make it my default and to not show this window again. then i selected contacts and done. its been working correctly now when i edit my contacts it does not give me the BS message "not found im my work email list." I hope this helps you.
