contact entry in the People list.
If one of your contacts (Amy Smith, for example) has a regular
email account that you maintain in Hotmail, but also has a
Facebook account under her maiden and married name, as well
as a Google account, when you merge these accounts into your
Contacts list you can link all of her entries and view the
information in one record.
The next time you synchronize your phone with your accounts,
any updates that contacts make to email account names, email
addresses, etc. automatically update in your contacts list.
For more information about synchronizing accounts, see
