Chapter
Working with Contacts
Your DROID gives you immediate access to all your important information. Just like your
computer, your DROID can store thousands of contacts for easy retrieval. In this chapter
we’ll show you how to add new contacts (including from an email message), customize
your contacts by adding notes and nicknames, organize your contacts with groups,
quickly search or scroll through contacts, and even show a contact’s location with the
DROID
Maps app. We will also show you how to customize the Contacts view so it is
sorted and displayed just the way you like it. Finally, you will learn a few troubleshooting
tips that will save you some time when you run into difficulties.
The beauty of the DROID is how it integrates all of the apps so you can email and map
your contacts right from the contact entry.
Loading Your Contacts onto the DROID
In Chapter 3: “Sync Your DROID to Your Google Account,” we show you how to load
your contacts onto the DROID using your Mac or Windows computer. You can also use
your Google account information to seamlessly and wirelessly sync at all times. Various
snyc methods are described in the Chapter 3: “Sync Your DRIOD to your Google
Account” and in Chapter 4: “Other Sync Methods.”
TIP : You can add new contact entries from email messages you receive. Learn how in the "Adding
Contacts from Email Messages" section later in this chapter.
When Is Your Contact List Most Useful?
The
Contacts
app is most useful when three things are true:
1.
You have many names and addresses in it.
2.
You continually add new information as it becomes available.
3.
You can easily find contacts.
