White paper G900c
Contacts
The Contacts application in G900c holds the details of all the user's contacts. It is fully integrated with the phone and other PIM applications. Each contact can contain multiple phone numbers and email addresses, names, addresses, birthday details, anniversary details, personal notes and a picture or photo. Most of this information will typically be transferred to G900c when it is synchronized with a PC application such as Microsoft® Outlook® or Lotus Notes®. Contact data can also be added and edited on G900c. Local and remote synchronization is possible using the SyncML standard, see Synchronization on page 44.
Data can be beamed to and from G900c using Bluetooth wireless technology. It can also be sent and received using Messaging. For more information, see Object exchange – 'Send as' on page 40.
Contacts are displayed in a list, which may be filtered by folder, such as ‘business’ or ‘personal’. To see a contact’s details select the contact. Tap the icons alongside the contact’s details to launch a phone call, a new message or a URL in the browser.
Calls received from new numbers can automatically cause the user to be prompted to save the number.
Contact details can be added to a distribution list. Distribution lists can be used to send groups of contacts the same email, SMS, EMS or MMS message.
