people and businesses you communicate with in contact cards. For example, you can
store multiple phone numbers, e-mail and street addresses, Web pages, and other
information that relates to the contact, such as a birthday or anniversary date. You can
use Contacts to dial phone numbers and compose e-mail and SMS messages directly
from a contact card.

The Contacts list displays the names of your contacts alphabetically, along with an
abbreviation for the default communication method, such as the persons work phone
number (w) or home phone number (h). This makes it easy to reach the contact using
the method you prefer.
Note: If the contact card includes a work phone number, your Smartphone will automat-
ically set it as the default number.
