Editing Contact Details
You can change or add details saved in your contact entries. You can also 
set specific ringtones to specific contacts.
Some contact entries contain information from multiple sources:  
information that you added manually, information that Contacts joined from 
multiple accounts to consolidate duplicates, etc.
If you find duplicate entries in Contacts, you can join them into a single entry.
Changes made to information from one source do not automatically change 
the information on the other sources. For example, if you have information 
about a contact from a Google Account and an Exchange account and both 
are configured to sync contacts, changes to the contact from the Google 
Account are synced to that account on the web, but the information from 
the Exchange account will remain unchanged.

menu that opens, tap Edit contact.

web the next time you sync your phone.

as Contacts) and from a read-only account, a dialog box informs you 
that the information from the read-only account will be hidden, not 
deleted.
