About categories
You can create categories to group your contacts, tasks, and memos. You can also narrow the contacts, tasks, and memos 
that appear based on categories.
Category names are not case sensitive. More than one category can apply to a contact, task, or memo. If you use IBM 
Notes, you can apply more than one category to a task on your BlackBerry smartphone, but only one category synchronizes 
with the task in 
Notes.
Categories are shared between the contact list, the task list, and the memo list and changes that you make in one 
application are made in all applications.
Categorize a contact, task, or memo
1.When you are creating or changing a contact, task, or memo, press the  key > Categories. 
2.Select the checkbox beside a category.
3.Press the  key > Save. 
To remove a category from a contact, task, or memo, clear the checkbox beside the category.
Create a category for contacts, tasks, or memos
You can create categories to organize items in the Contacts application, Tasks application, and MemoPad.

Troubleshooting: Contacts
Contact list field data isn't appearing on my computer
You can only synchronize the data in a custom contact list field with a text field in the email application on your computer. For example, you can't add a contact's birthday to a custom contact list field on your 
BlackBerry smartphone and 
synchronize it with the email application on your computer, because the birthday field is a date field in the email 
application on your computer.

My contact pictures keep changing
The contact pictures in applications (for example, in the contacts application), might change if you set more than one  application on your 
BlackBerry smartphone to replace contact pictures. Depending on how often or how many of your 
contact pictures are being replaced by other applications, you might experience increased data charges.
To stop contact pictures from changing, you must change the options in each application that is replacing your contact 
pictures.
