Adding contacts, Add a new contact

Adding contacts

You can add contacts on your phone and synchronize them with the contacts in your Google Account, Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account, or other accounts that support syncing contacts.

When you reply to or forward an email message to an email address that is not in Contacts, the email address is added as a contact. Contacts tries to join new addresses with existing contacts, to create a single entry. You can also manage that process manually. See “Joining contacts” on page 124 and “Separating contact information” on page 126.

Add a new contact

1Open your contacts.

2Press Menu and touch New contact.

3If you have more than one account with contacts, touch the account to which you want to add the contact.

4Enter the contact’s name.

5Touch a category of contact information, such as phone numbers and email addresses, to enter that kind of information about your contact.

Scroll the page to view all categories.

6Touch a category’s plus button to add more than one entry for that category— for example, to add both work and home numbers.

Touch the button to the left of the item of contact information to open a menu with preset labels, such as Mobile and Work for a phone number, or touch Custom in the menu to create your own label.

7Touch the Picture Frame icon to select a picture to display next to the name in your lists of contacts and in other applications.

8When you’re finished, touch Done.
