Difference between Sim-free and Orange Hero.

---

For the last few days I have been trying to figure out how to add contacts to my Google account using my phone with no luck.
I have the white unlocked Hero and a friend has just got the graphite Orange version. When we were setting up his phone all his contacts were stored on his sim card so needed to be transferred over, using the import function in the people app we were able to import to Google. This got me thinking why don't I just store my contacts on the sim first then import them to Google problem solved. But here is the thing I haven't got Google showing up on my import list, and yes my phone is synced to Google as that's where on my previous contacts come from and if I add a new one on Google it adds on my phone.
To make things even worse I added a new contact on his phone to find out he could save it to Google straight away, which I can't as the only options I have are phone or sim.

So if anyone with the white Hero could have a look at theirs I would appreciate it, as it seems stupid that this would be taken out of the sim free.

Thanks

Do not worry I have sorted it out, just done a complete factory reset and I now have the options to save to Google.
Weird that it didn't work in the first place.
