Link a contact
When your device 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 device;
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 Steven Grayson in Google, Facebook, Microsoft
Exchange, and your HP webOS Account, go ahead and link all four contacts
into a linked contact. But don’t link Steven’s contact info with his brother John’s.

contacts.

contact appears in your Contacts list under the name you’re most
likely to recognize (and not, say, under a person’s IM screen name,
TIP When you create a reminder message for a contact, unless you remove it, it
pops up every time you make contact with that person. To remove a reminder
message, open the application menu, and tap Add Contact Reminder. Tap the
