This is sometime the reason why I love iOS sandboxing because often the app can’t mess with your contacts. I am still figuring out how that happens. I also realized that some of my Skype contacts sneaked into with my Google Sync and got sync back to my Google Contacts and I have to manually delete it. If you notice my phone book has 378 contacts, I have no idea how they arrived at the number, my Google Sync has 349 contacts so technically I only expect to see 349 of them. As you can see from the above screenshot, I got 102 contacts in Facebook, 126 in Skype and 6 on Gtalk, by tapping on any of them will only show the contacts in that respective account. One nice feature but rather a buggy one is it allows you to filter your contacts based on account. If you are like me that links many accounts to the Nokia N9, you will notice that scrolling through the contacts is a little laggy. I store the names of my contact only in the first name field to avoid conflict when syncing to multiple devices and hence you will see only a single letter “D”. One nice little touch to the Contacts App is that it will have an icon that represents your contact initials. If your contact’s email matches a Facebook contact, it will merge them together and your contact’s display picture will be his/her Facebook Profile Picture. I am using Google Sync to sync my personal contacts over to the N9. Once your accounts are connected, your contacts in your social networking sites will appear in your Contacts app, similar to that of Windows Phone 7. I do hope that future software update will fix it. At first I thought this would be fixed in the Nokia N9 PR 1.1 Software Update, but apparently it does not. I notice that my the N9 has become very laggy once these accounts are connected and sometimes the lag is unbearable. They are: Facebook, Flickr, Google, Google Sync (MS Exchange), Office Email (MS Exchange), Nokia, Picasa, Skype, Twitter and YouTube. I connected 10 accounts with the Nokia N9. When I first got my hands on the N9, I went straight up and connect all my social networking sites with the N9. The N9 has a Accounts app that manages all your accounts that you have connected with the N9, similar to what Windows Phone 7 is doing.
