Categorizing records
Categorize records in the Contacts view in PhoneBook, To Do List, Memo
Pad, SMS, and Expense applications so that they are grouped logically
and are easy to review. (You can also categorize applications. See page 36
for details.)
When you create a record, your phone automatically places it in the
category that is currently displayed. If the category is All, your phone
assigns it to the Unfiled category. You can leave an entry as Unfiled or
assign it to a category at any time.
System-defined and user-defined categories
By default, your phone includes system-defined categories, such as All
and Unfiled, and user-defined categories, such as Business and Personal.
