Link a contact
When your phone recognizes matching information in two or more
contacts—for example, the same name and phone number—it
automatically gathers the info from the two records into a single view that
displays all the contact information. You can also manually link contacts.
The info for your linked contacts appears combined only on your phone—
the actual info is kept separate and distinct in the accounts it came from.
IMPORTANT To maintain the integrity of your contact data, it’s important that
you link only one person’s contact info in different accounts. For example, if you
have contact info for Emily Weeks in Google, Facebook, Microsoft Exchange, and
your Palm profile account, go ahead and link all four contacts into a linked contact.
But don’t link Emily’s contact info with her sister Allison’s.
