Contacts

Adding contacts

You can add contacts on your phone and synchronize them with the contacts in your
Google Account, Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account, or other accounts that
support syncing contacts.
When you reply to or forward an email message to an email address that is not in
Contacts, the email address is added as a contact. Contacts tries to join new
addresses with existing contacts, to create a single entry. You can also manage that
process manually. See "Joining contacts" on page 124 and "Separating contact
information" on page 126.
