Organizing PIM Personal Information Management (PIM) includes handling of contacts, calendar, tasks and more. Contacts Contacts is your address book and information storage for the people and businesses you communicate with. There are three types of contacts that you can create on your phone: • Microsoft® Office Outlook® contacts. Contacts that are stored on your phone, which can be created on your phone or synchronized with your computer or the Exchange Server. For each contact you can store phone numbers, e-mail addresses, instant messaging (IM) names, company and home addresses and information such as job title, birthday, and a lot more. You can also add a picture and assign a ring tone to an Outlook contact. • SIM contacts. Contacts that are stored on the SIM card. Only the name and a phone number can be stored for each entry. • Windows Live™ contacts. Contacts that you communicate with using Windows Live™ Messenger or MSN. Just like Outlook contacts, you can also enter complete information for a Windows Live contact. For more information, see Windows Live Messenger. You can also add Windows Live™ contacts after you have set up Windows Live™ on your phone. Managing contacts Your phone gives you several ways to store and manage phone numbers and other information about your contacts: • Use Contacts to create and save contacts on your phone memory or your SIM card. • Use SIM Manager to store and manage SIM contacts.
