Contacks, Calendar and Tasks
DRAFT
This chapter introduces features on your Smartphone that help you manage
and keep track of contacts, appointments, and schedule, and maintain a
"things to do" list. This chapter also explains how to send and receive contact
and appointment information between your Smartphone and another mobile
device or a desktop computer (beaming data) by using infrared.
For information about synchronizing Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks, see "You
can use the infrared port on your Smartphone to send and receive (beam) cal-
endar appointments and contact cards between your Smartphone and Syn-
chronizing Information with another mobile device or a desktop computer
that has an infrared port and supports VCards and VCal." on page 79.
Using Cont acts
You can think of Contacts as an address book, where you can store informa-
tion about people and businesses you communicate with in contact cards. For
example, you can store multiple phone numbers, e-mail and street addresses,
Web pages, and other information that relates to the contact, such as a birth-
day or anniversary date. You can use Contacts to dial phone numbers and
compose e-mail and SMS messages directly from a contact card.
The Contacts list
The Contacts list displays the names of your contacts alphabetically, along
with an abbreviation for the default communication method, such as the per-
son's work phone number (w) or home phone number (h). This makes it easy
to reach the contact using the method you prefer.
To access Contacts
• On the Home screen, press the Programs soft key, select Contacts, and then
press the
Action button.
If the contact card includes a work phone number, your Smartphone will automatically
set it as the default number.
You can also access Contacts by pressing the Contacts soft key on the H ome screen, if it
is displayed.
