Joining Contacts
Joining Contact Information
Many people now maintain mult iple email accounts, social 
networking logins, and other sim ilar account information. For 
example, a Facebook account logi n 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.
