Contacts

How do I add names and other info into Contacts?
You have a few options for getting info into your Contacts.
Connect to an online address book:
online account that works with the Palm
Google or Microsoft Exchange), you can set up Contacts on your phone to
synchronize and display contacts that you store in the online address book.
Set up synchronization the first time you open Contacts (see
for the first time), or anytime after that (see
set up the connection to the online address book, contacts you enter online
show up automatically in Contacts, and contacts you enter on your phone
sync to the online account, provided the account allows writing from the
phone to the online account.
The Synergy feature makes it easy to synchronize other data from an online
account. By setting up synchronization in one app, synchronization of the
other apps is automatically set up for you. For example, if you set up your
Gmail account in Email before you set up Contacts, when you first open
Contacts, you find that your Google contacts are already downloaded. And
when you first open Calendar, you find that your Google calendar events are
already in your phone's Calendar.
NOTE See Online accounts available for Palm
list of online accounts that you can set up on your phone and from which you can
access contacts.
Enter a contact directly in Contacts:
You can assign the contact to one of your online address books—if you do, it
synchronizes with the online address book. Or you can create the contact in
your Palm profile account, which means it shows up on your phone only.
Palm profile contacts are included in the daily backup of your Palm profile
information, so you can restore them if they are accidentally erased.

Use a third-party sync solution:
your contacts, you can use a third-party solution (sold separately) to sync
your contacts directly with your computer (see palm.com/sync-solutions).
Transfer contacts using the Data Transfer Assistant:
contacts from desktop software, you select which account to assign those
contacts to. Look for those contacts in the account you select (see
get data off my computer?).
Download vCard info to Contacts:
for contact info. A vCard may contain one or many contact entries. A vCard
can be attached to an email or a multimedia message, and you can
download the info in a vCard to your Contacts app. See
Linked contacts
The Synergy feature automatically links contacts from different accounts if it
finds data in common among them. For example, if you have a contact in
Exchange and in Google for Emily Weeks, your phone links the contacts so
that all of 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 source data remains
separate in the various accounts where you originally created the data; 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 in separate accounts.
