Adding Contact Information to iPhone
With iPhone Contacts, it’s easy to have all your contact information with you. You can sync the contact information from your computer to iPhone, and you can enter new contacts and make changes directly on iPhone.

Syncing Contact Information from Your Computer
If you’ve set up iTunes to sync contacts automatically, iTunes keeps your contacts up-to-date—whether you make changes on your computer or on iPhone. iTunes supports syncing with the following applications on your computer.
On a Mac: Mac OS X Address Book, Microsoft Entourage, and Yahoo! Address Book
On a PC: Yahoo! Address Book, Windows Address Book (Outlook Express), or Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007
For information about syncing iPhone with your address books and other information on your computer, see “Syncing iPhone with Your Computer” on page 7.

Adding and Editing Contacts Directly on iPhone
Your contacts are always quickly available on iPhone, whenever you need them. iPhone lets you view and add contact information directly from Phone, Mail, and Text applications. If someone calls, emails, or sends you a text message, you can add them to your contacts, right where you are. If you’re entering a new contact from scratch, however, you do that in Phone.
