combine contacts

i setup my email on my phone and it imported all my email addresses to my phone. is there a way to combine those with the contacts i already have? what i mean is in my email account i have "Mike" and "Matt" listed with their email address, on my cell i have the same people with only phone numbers. when it imported i have "mike and matt" listed twice, once for email and once for phone number. i have been using the stock/default contact manager and just downloaded Photo COntacts Pro to try... havnt found that feature in it yet.

Re: combine contacts

Thats happened to me before. All I did was copy and paste into the duplicate contact. I didnt have many emails so maybe it'll be harder for you. Good luck

There is no easy or hasslefree way to do this that I know of. Your best bet is to sync with outlook on your PC, edit the contacts in Outlook (copy the email address from the email contacts into the phone contacts then delete the email contacts) then sync again and it should clear out the duplicate contacts. Doing it Outlook is easier than doing it on the phone directly and is worth the extra step of syncing. This is the down side of importing contacts from different sources, no system I have ever used has even been good, much less great, at avoiding duplicates.

ill give that a try. i actually dont use outlook at all. i have 2 email accounts i use, hotmail and gmail but i just goto the website to view my emails. i'll set it up and see what happens.

for being, what i would consider, a common problem you would think someone has come up with a solution... thanks for the info guys.

Re: combine contacts

google has thought of this and has an option to select 2 'contacts' and merge.
I found that out when I started using thier exchange service.
