Linked Contacts

Your phone can synchronize with multiple accounts, including Google, Microsoft Exchange, and other email providers, plus social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. When you synchronize contacts from these accounts with your phone, you may have multiple contacts for one person.
Linking imported contact records to a phone contact allows you to see all the contact’s numbers and addresses together in one Contact entry. Linking also helps you keep your contacts updated, because any changes that your contacts make to their information in the respective accounts is automatically updated the next time you synchronize with the account.
Note:
Phone contacts are always the primary contact for linking. You can link imported contacts to a Phone contact, but the Phone contact will always display; the imported contact will show as the linked contact.
