Contacts
To manage contact information and start communications

, and select 
View Contacts

The main view of the contacts application displays contact 
information in two panes: the left pane lists available 
groups, and the right pane shows the contacts in the 
selected group and their presence status.

To search for a contact, tap

To be able to communicate with a contact, you must define 
account settings for the internet call and instant 
messaging services. For more information, see ‘Accounts’, 
p. 27.
Before you can start to communicate with your contacts, 
you need to send an authorisation request or response. An 
authorisation request is normally sent automatically when 
you add a new contact. When a recipient receives an 
authorisation request and accepts it, you can see the 
recipient’s presence status and can start communication. 
When you remove a contact from your address book, the 
authorisation is also removed.
To get in contact, select a contact from the list and, in the 
contact dialog, tap an available channel for 
communication:
 to call the contact,
 to chat with the contact, and
 to send an e-mail message to the contact.
