Linking Contacts

Linking Contact Information
Many people now maintain multiple email accounts, social
networking accounts, 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, Corporate email, and Google.
When you synchronize your phone with these accounts, each
account creates a separate contact entry in the Contacts list.
If one of your contacts (Amy Smith, for example) has a
regular email account that you maintain in Gmail, but also
has a Facebook account under her maiden and married
name, as well as a Yahoo! chat account, when you merge
these accounts into your Contacts list you can link all of her
entries and view the information in one record.
The next time you synchronize your phone with your
accounts, any updates that contacts make to email account
names, email addresses, and so on automatically update in
your contacts list.
(For more information about synchronizing accounts, see
"Synchronizing Accounts" on page 66.)

another entry).

name or account information.

The contact list is displayed.
Note: Only contacts stored on your phone can be
linked.
4. Tap the second contact entry (the entry in which to
link). The second contact is now linked with the first

Note: The information is still maintained in both
entries, but displays in one record for easier
viewing when you link the contacts.
