Assign a reminder message to a contact

If you have an important message or a question for a contact, you can enter a reminder on your smartphone. The next time you and the contact are in touch – whether by phone call, email or text message/IM – a notification appears showing the contact name and a message bubble. Tap the bubble to view the reminder.

To assign a reminder message to a contact:

1Open Contacts .

2Search for a contact (see Find a contact) and tap the contact name.

3Open the application menu and tap Add Contact Reminder.

4Enter the reminder and make the back gesture to save it.

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 trash icon.

Link a contact

When your smartphone recognises 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 smartphone; 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 HP webOS 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.
