Confusion in XPERIA Mini Pro

[#1]

Dear Friends,

I just bought a new Sony XPERIA Mini Pro SK17I. But I found major confusion compared to Symbian. Could you please guide me on below points

1. How to deactivate the threaded message view. If it is not possible in standard then is there any another application which I can use

2. How to create group Contacts? If not in standard please let me know any available application which suffice the requirement

3. How to send the group SMS? If not in standard please let me know any available application which suffice the requirement

4. How to maintain the default mobile number / SMS sending number for my contact which has multiple mobile numbers?

5. I dont want to synchronize my contact / Calendar with Sony or gmail. Is there any way I can synchronize only on Outlook in my Laptop and edit it

I need to ask these question but these are the normally used in Symbian OS and I am so confused with Android

Thanks & Regards

Rahul

Dear Slimshaddy,

Thanks for your reply

I checked with Handcent SMS but it is showing the same threaded view. I need the standard / Old sms view used in Symbian

For maintaining the default contact i tried to follow the procedure as said above but failed to do so. Could you please give in bried. It might be different than other OS. The new phone has Gingerbread.

Can I transfer the old SMS available in Symbian OS to new Phone as they are more than 2000 SMS

Awaiting for positive reply

Thanks & Regards

The handset is good. I bought it for 15400. The handset has good display quality but bit bulky. I saw the Samsung IPAD and found the same feature available in XPERIA MINI PRO.
