Organizing PIM

Personal Information Management (PIM) includes handling of
contacts, calendar, tasks and more.

Contacts

Contacts is your address book and information storage for the
people and businesses you communicate with. There are three
types of contacts that you can create on your phone:
• Microsoft® Office Outlook® contacts. Contacts that are
stored on your phone, which can be created on your phone
or synchronized with your computer or the Exchange Server.
For each contact you can store phone numbers, e-mail
addresses, instant messaging (IM) names, company and
home addresses and information such as job title, birthday,
and a lot more. You can also add a picture and assign a ring
tone to an Outlook contact.
• SIM contacts. Contacts that are stored on the SIM card. Only
the name and a phone number can be stored for each entry.
• Windows Live™ contacts. Contacts that you communicate
with using Windows Live™ Messenger or MSN. Just like
Outlook contacts, you can also enter complete information
for a Windows Live contact. For more information, see
Windows Live Messenger.
You can also add Windows Live™ contacts after you have set up
Windows Live™ on your phone.

Managing contacts

Your phone gives you several ways to store and manage phone
numbers and other information about your contacts:
• Use Contacts to create and save contacts on your phone
memory or your SIM card.
• Use SIM Manager to store and manage SIM contacts.
