6.1 Contacts
Contacts is your address book and information storage for the people and businesses you communicate with.
Store phone numbers, e-mail addresses, home addresses, and any other information that relates to a contact,
such as a birthday or an anniversary date. You can also add a picture or assign a ring tone to a contact.
From the contact list, you can quickly communicate with people. Tap a contact in the list for a summary of
contact information. From there, you can call or send a message.
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.
• 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. For
more information, see “Add Windows Live contacts” in Chapter 10.
Tip If you use Outlook on your PC, you can synchronize contacts between your device and PC.
Note You can only add Windows Live contacts after you have set up Windows Live on your device.
