Contacts
Contacts is where you enter information about people you know. You can access this
information from the Phone application to dial phone numbers and create favorites, and from
the Messaging and email applications to send messages. When you create a contact, you
can also assign a caller ID picture or ringtone to that contact, so that you know when that
person is calling.
If you have several contacts to enter, it’s more efficient to use Palm
®
Desktop software or
Microsoft
®
Outlook
®
on your computer and then synchronize information between your
Palm Centro™ smart device and your computer. For more information, see “Synchronizing
Information—The Basics” on page 39.
Adding a Contact
1. Press Phone .
2. Select the Contacts favorite button.
Note
If you use Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
®
, your contacts information (as
well as email and calendar information) is moved directly between your
company's Exchange server and your smart device using either Microsoft
Direct Push technology or synchronization. Push is a feature provided by
Microsoft ActiveSync that pushes email messages, Calendar events,
meeting invitations, and updated contact information it receives onto your
device. You retrieve contacts (and email and calendar) updates from the
server; they are not updated when you synchronize directly with your
computer. For additional information, see “Getting Messages From Your
Corporate Microsoft Exchange Server Onto Your Device” on page 138
