If one of your contacts (Amy Smith, for example) has a regular
email account that you maintain in Gmail, but also has a
Facebook account under her maiden and married name, as well
as a Yahoo! chat account, when you merge these accounts into
your Contacts list you can join all of her entries and view the
information in one record.
The next time you synchronize your phone with your accounts,
any updates that your contacts make to email account names,
email addresses, and so on, automatically update in your
contacts list.
For more information about synchronizing accounts, see
“Synchronizing Accounts” on page 70.

Marking a Contact as Default
When you use messaging type applications, the application
needs to know which information is primary (default) in a contact
entry list. For example, you may have three different contact
records for John Smith, so the application looks for the “default”
number or entry.
