Joining Contacts
Joining 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 join 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 62.
1.From the Home screen, tap Contacts .
2.Tap a contact name (the name you want to join to another 
entry).

different name or account information.

account information is merged into one screen.
Note: The information is still maintained in both entries, but displays in one record for easier viewing when you join the contacts.
5.Ta p  t h e  joined contacts bar to view the contact information 
you joined. The contacts and information displays with an

account information is contained in the entry.
Unjoining a Contact

Marking a Contact as Default
When you use messaging type applications, the application
