6.1 Contacts
Contacts is your address book and information storage for the people and businesses you communicate with.
Store phone numbers, e-mail addresses, home addresses, and any other information that relates to a contact,
such as a birthday or an anniversary date. You can also add a picture or assign a ring tone to a contact.
From the contact list, you can quickly communicate with people. Tap a contact in the list for a summary of
