Contacts 71
Joining Contact Information
Most people now maintain multiple email accounts, social
networking logins, and other similar account information. For
example, a Facebook account login name might differ from a
corporate email account login because they are maintained
separately and for different groups of people.
This device can synchronize with multiple accounts (such as
Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Microsoft Exchange, or Google).
When you synchronize your phone with those accounts, each
account creates a separate contact entry in the Contacts list.
If one of your contacts (Amy Smith) has a regular email account
that you maintain in Gmail, but also has a Facebook account
under her maiden and married name, when you merge those
accounts into your Contacts list you can join all of her entries and
view the information in one record.
Joining contact information makes sending messages easy. You
can select any account email address or information all from one
screen, versus searching multiple, individual screens to locate the
desired account information.
Next time you synchronize your phone with your accounts, any
updates made to email account names, email addresses, etc.
automatically update in your contacts list.
For more information about synchronizing accounts, see
“Get
Friends”
on page 76.
To link contact entries:
1.
From the Home screen, tap
.
2.
Tap a contact name (the name you want to link to another
entry).
Note:
Typically this is the same contact with a different name or account
information.
3.
Press
and then tap
Join contact
.
4.
Tap the second contact entry. The second contact is now
linked with the first and the account information is merged
into one screen.
Note:
The information is still maintained in both entries, but displays in one
record for easier viewing when you link the contacts.
Important!:
The second contact image that is displayed for both, but the first
contact’s name is used.
For example: If Amy (original entry) is joined with Julie (second
entry), one entry appears under the name Amy. Tap the Amy entry
(showing the Julie image) to view information from both.
