Editing a Contacts Entry
You can change or add details saved in your contact entries, 
such as setting specific ringtones to specific contacts or setting 
calls from specific contacts to divert to your voicemail. Some 
contact entries contain information from multiple sources: 
information that you added manually, information joined from 
multiple accounts to consolidate duplicates, etc.
If you find duplicate entries in Contacts, you can join them into 
a single entry. If you find that unrelated contacts were joined in 
error, you can separate them.
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.
For more information about working with multiple accounts, 
see “Accounts” on page 113.
