Swype™ is a new way to enter text on touch screens.
Instead of touching each key, use your finger to trace over
each letter of a word. For each word, place your finger on the
first letter and glide to the subsequent letters, lifting on the
last letter.
This example shows how to enter the word “this”. Put your
finger down on the “t” and, without lifting, glide it to the “h”,
then to the “i”, then over to the “s”.

Your device can synchronize with multiple accounts,

accounts with your device, you may have multiple contacts

Linking, or joining, imported contact records allows you to

updated, because any changes that your contacts make to
their information in the respective accounts is automatically
