Your social networking account

You can set up a social network account that integrates and syncs all your contacts, emails, and social networking sites, and serves them up just the way you want them. No opening and closing apps and

menus. You can interact by touching widgets on your home screen. The Social Networking and Social Status widgets are your windows into the social

networking sites and other accounts you entered into your social status.

Add accounts

You can add your Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, or other accounts to your social networking account. If you don’t have accounts on these sites, visit their Web sites to set them up.

For email accounts, see “Set up messaging” on page 32.

Find it: Launcher icon > My Accounts > Add account

Add an account by touching it. Then enter your user name and password for that account.

When you sign into social networking accounts, you’ll see your friends and contacts in your Contacts list, and your status and updates can appear in your Social Networking widget.

Twitter and MySpace messages will always appear as “read” on your phone, but your phone notifies you when you receive a new message. MySpace marks your messages as “read” online.

Tip: To download updates faster, use “Wi-Fi™” on page 45.
