Link a Contact
When your phone recognizes matching information in two or more contacts—for example, the
same name and phone number—it automatically gathers the info from the two records into a
single view that displays all the contact information. You can also manually link contacts. The
info for your linked contacts appears combined only on your phone—the actual info is kept
separate and distinct in the accounts it came from.

Important To maintain the integrity of your contact data, it’s important that you link only
one person’s contact info in different accounts. For example, if you have
contact info for Emily Weeks in Google, Facebook, Microsoft Exchange, and
your Palm profile account, go ahead and link all four contacts into a linked
contact. But don't link Emily’s contact info with her sister Allison’s.
