6.1Contacts

Contacts is your address book and information storage for the people and businesses you communicate with. There are two types of contacts that you can create on your device:

Outlook contacts. Contacts that are stored on your device, which can be created on your device or synchronized with your PC or the Exchange Server. For each contact, you can store phone numbers, email addresses, instant messaging (IM) names, company and home addresses, and information such as a job title, birthday, and a lot more. You can also add a picture and assign a ringer to an Outlook contact.

Windows Live contacts. Contacts that you communicate with using Windows Live Messenger or MSN. Just like Outlook contacts, you can also enter complete information for a Windows Live contact.

Note:

You can only add Windows Live contacts after you have set up Windows Live on your device.
