Your phone features earSmart???, an intelligent voice processor that delivers a clear voice experience, allowing you to hear and be heard??? in nearly any environment. earSmart technology uses the science of human hearing to distinguish sounds, identify your voice and suppress surrounding noise, for clear conversations just about anywhere.
How Does It Work?

???With earSmart technology, you can talk where you want, and have clear conversations for mobile calls, video chats, even speakerphone calls, without worrying about surrounding noise.

Using Contacts
Dialing or Messaging from Address Book
Once you have stored phone numbers in the Address Book, you can dial them easily and quickly by either using their SIM card location number or by using the Search field to locate the entry.
From the Address book, you can also send messages.
Finding an Address Book Entry
You can store phone numbers and their corresponding names onto your SIM card and phone???s onboard memory. The two locations are physically separate but are used as a single entity, called the Address Book.

Joining Contacts
Joining Contact Information
Many people now maintain multiple email accounts, social networking logins, and other similar account information. For example, a Facebook account login name might differ from a corporate email account login because they are maintained separately and for different groups of people.
This device can synchronize with multiple accounts such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Corporate email, and Google. When you synchronize your phone with these accounts, each account creates a separate contact entry in the Contacts list.
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 contacts make to email account names, email addresses, etc. automatically update in your contacts list.
73
For more information about synchronizing accounts, see
???Synchronizing Accounts??? on page 75.

Note: The information is still maintained in both entries, but displays in one record for easier viewing when you join the contacts.
5.Tap area under the Connection bar to view the contact information you joined. The contacts and information displays with an icon next to the contact name to indicate what type of account information is contained in the entry.
Unjoining a Contact
