Linking Contacts
Linking Contact Information
Many people now maintain multiple email accounts, social 
networking logins, and other similar 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 pho ne 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 link 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 65.
1. From the Home screen, tap Contacts .
2. Tap a contact name (the name you want to link to 
another entry). 
Note: typically this is the same contact
with a different name or account information.
3. Press   ➔ 
Link contacts.
The contact list is displayed.
Note: Only contacts stored on your phone can be linked.
4. Tap the second contact entry (the entry in which to 
link). The second contact is now linked with the first 
and the 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 link 
the contacts.

Marking a Contact as Default
When you use messaging type applications, the application 
needs to know which informatio n is primary (default) in a 
contact entry list. For example, you may have three different 
contact records for John Smith, so the application will be 
looking for the “default” number or entry.
1. From the Home screen, tap 
Contacts .
2. Tap a Contact name.
3. Press   ➔ 
Mark as default. The Mark as default 
screen displays radio butt ons next to the contact 
names or phone numbers of all the linked contacts. 
The radio button next to the default contact will be
