Contacts
The Contacts application in G900 holds the details
of all the user's contacts. It is fully integrated with
the phone and other PIM applications. Each
contact can contain multiple phone numbers and
email addresses, names, addresses, birthday
details, anniversary details, personal notes and a
picture or photo. Most of this information will
typically be transferred to G900 when it is
synchronized with a PC application such as
Microsoft® Outlook® or Lotus Notes®. Contact
data can also be added and edited on G900. Local
and remote synchronization is possible using the
SyncML standard, see Synchronization on
page 47.
Data can be beamed to and from G900 using
Bluetooth wireless technology. It can also be sent
and received using Messaging. For more
information, see Object exchange – 'Send as' on
page 43.
Contacts are displayed in a list, which may be
filtered by folder, such as ‘business’ or ‘personal’.
To see a contact’s details select the contact. Tap
the icons alongside the contact’s details to launch
a phone call, a new message or a URL in the
browser.
Calls received from new numbers can
automatically cause the user to be prompted to
save the number.
Contact details can be added to a distribution list.
Distribution lists can be used to send groups of
contacts the same email, SMS, EMS or MMS
message.
