Linking Contacts

Linking Contact Information
Many 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, 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, etc. automatically update in your
contacts list.
For more information about synchronizing accounts, see
"Synchronizing Accounts" on page 54.

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.

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.
5. Tap area under the Connection bar to view the contact
information you linked. The contacts and information
