Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks

This chapter introduces features on your Smartphone that help you manage and keep

track of contacts, appointments, and schedule, and maintain a things-to-do list. This

chapter also explains how to send and receive contact and appointment information

between your Smartphone and another mobile device or a desktop computer (beaming

data) by using infrared technology.

For information about synchronizing Contacts with your desktop computer, see

“ActiveSync” on page 145.

Using Contacts

You can think of Contacts as an address book, where you store information about people

and businesses with whom you communicate. For example, you can store multiple

phone numbers, email and street addresses, Web pages, as well as other information

that relates to the contact, such as a birthday or anniversary date.

You can specify a special ring tone for the Smartphone to use when a contact calls. You

can also assign a contact to a category, such as business or personal, so you can filter

the contact list to view contacts in a category. You can use Contacts to dial phone

numbers and compose email and text messages directly from a contact card. The

contacts you create are saved in your Smartphone, but you can copy them to your SIM

card and copy contacts on your SIM card to your phone. You can synchronize contact

cards with your desktop computer or beam contact cards to another device.

Note: Your Smartphone may display the menu option New SIM Contact. This option

has no function. Please do not select it.

The Contact List

The contact list displays the names of your contacts alphabetically. From this list, you

can create new contact cards with address, phone, and email information. You can also

easily call a contact directly from the list, open a contact card to view and edit its

information, or delete a contact card. When you synchronize with your desktop

computer, your contact information is updated to reflect any changes on both your

Smartphone and your desktop computer.

Beside each name in the contact list is an abbreviation for the default communication

method. If the default method is a phone number, such as a work (w) or home phone

number (h), when you scroll to the contact and press s, the Smartphone automatically

dials that number. If the default method is email, when you scroll to the contact and press

O twice, the Smartphone opens an email message addressed to the contact. This makes

it easy to reach a contact by using the method you prefer.
