Linked Contacts
The Synergy feature automatically links contacts from different accounts if it finds data in
common between them. For example, if you have a contact in Exchange and in Google for
Emily Weeks, your phone links the contacts so that all Emily’s info shows up on a single
contact screen. You need to open just one view to see all of Emily’s info. The actual data
remains stored separately with your different providers; it’s just assembled in one view on your
phone for your convenience.
How can you tell if a contact is linked? Look in the upper-right corner of the contact screen. If
you see a stack of photos and a number, that means that you're looking at a linked contact,
with combined info from contacts you're storing with separate providers.
1 Tap the stack of photos to see the contacts that are linked.
2 Emily is a contact in your Google online account and in your Palm
profile account.

Scroll down to see Emily’s combined contact info.
You can unlink automatically linked contacts, and you can manually link contacts yourself
(see “Link a Contact” on page 164 or “Unlink a Contact” on page 165).
