There’s been a lot of talk around town… or the blogosphere… or the web… or the internet… or my apartment, whatever… about what Contacts and Synergy will really mean to the Pre owner. While I’m not going to be able to answer all your questions with this news item and these screenshots, I can at least get you a little closer to understanding what it will be like. With that in mind, let’s dive in and meet your Contacts app on the Pre.

The first time you launch your Contact app, you will find yourself at a screen like the one below where you can link up with Google, FaceBook, or a Microsoft Exchange Server to populate your contacts list.

Let’s set up our Google account, shall we?

A quick sync later, your list is populated by all the contacts from your different cloud accounts and it looks like this:

If you need to add a contact, not already found on the list, tap that bottom left button and an empty contact form will appear for you to fill out:

The application menu, accessed by tapping “Contacts” up at the top left, looks like this:

If you tap on the “Preferences & Accounts” menu item, you get to tweak out some things on this screen:

Looks to be pretty standard stuff, what sets it apart is the “Synergy” integration between accounts and how effortless the entire thing seems to be. And that, children, concludes our fairy tale… as always, remember to drive safe, buckle up, and flip off the moron who cut you off in traffic! Good night!
