After reading some comments and concerns around the forum and other interwebz sources, I’ve decided to attempt to answer, to the best of my ability, a good chunk of the unknowns. From the “Meet your Contacts on the Pre” article, we already know that the Pre can pull from Google, Facebook, and/or Microsoft Exchange.  So picking up from there, I added 2 accounts in contacts while an existing account was already in there.  I started by adding a Gmail account and then a Facebook account, and immediately my new mail messages were available while the 70 contacts from Gmail and 75 contacts from Facebook took just under 2 minutes to completely sync.
Adding the account in contacts also added them in mail and calendar so you don’t have to create accounts in each.
Currently there doesn’t appear to be any options for setting the time between syncs or any clear indication of when the syncs are done, but adding a contact in Gmail via the web took no more than 5 minutes to show up on the Pre.  If you need it faster than the auto-sync, there is an option to Sync Now in the preferences, which will force the sync.  Other options in the preferences allow you to add or remove accounts, and set a default account (where any new contact will be added).

Once your contacts have been imported you can see how the Pre handles contacts that are coming from multiple sources, for example this one shows being in both Facebook and Gmail, and puts a small 2 by the profile picture.

In this situation you can turn off 1 or the other of the accounts or let them merge, as they do seamlessly.  In the case where names may be different or two contact profiles did not merge as you had hoped, you can choose to link more profiles and just pick the one from the list you want to join.  Here an account with the name palm goon was attached to another account, and if you want the others to fall under palm goon on the contact list all you have to do is set palm goon as the primary profile.

So far everything functions surprisingly well, the only disappointment I’ve run into and not been able to solve involved deleting a contact profile.  In the case where you may have a contact in your Gmail contacts, but don’t want them on your phone, there is no simple solution.  After removing the contact from the phone it was removed from the Gmail contacts when checked from the web.  The other problem I found, and something I find to be for more of an issue is that Facebook contacts cannot be deleted, so if you’ve got a bunch of college/work/high school Facebook friends that you really have no interest in calling you may want to avoid adding your Facebook account to the Pre. That’s not to say that a solution won’t be created or that it will be that way on launch date.




当然了，如果到时候切换速度一炮无。。。那还是没意思。。。但是这个思路是完全符合我自己yy的思路。。。内牛满面啊。。。

Palm goon放出了关于Palm Pre联系人功能的具体界面，并深入解释了它的联系人同步功能。
从之前的Pre相关文章，我们知道Pre可以从Google，Facebook和Exchange聚合联系人信息。就试试这个吧。我在联系人现存的账号中新增了Facebook和Gamil两个账号条目。立马，新的账号中的邮件或是相关的信息出现了，而且Gmail中70个联系人信息和Facebook中75个联系人的信息也在2分钟内完成了同步。
在联系人中增加的账号条目也同时会在邮件和日程中同步增加，无需另行增加。
目前Pre没有自动同步的时间间隔的设置，同步完成后也不会有明显的提示。但是通过网络增加Gmail账号后，联系人信息不消5分钟就可以出现在Pre上面。而如果你确实需要更快的手动同步，可以使用”马上同步“功能强制同步。其他设置选项还包括新增、删除账号，以及设置缺省的主联系账号（有新的联系人信息增加后就出现）

一旦联系人信息导入成功，你就能知道Pre是如何处理多源信息的。比如，下图就显示了新增Facebook和Gmail两个账号后的联系人出现了叠加头像和数字2的显示。




这种情况下，你可以取消其中一个或是让他们无缝整合成一个。如果名字不相同或是他们整合得不尽如你意，你也可以选择链接更多的账号或是选择其中一个进行合并。下图是一个把Palm goon附加到其他账号的例子，如果你想把其他的账号都归属于palm goon，你只要把palm goon设成主账号就可以了。

什么都特别好，除了有一点：你不能屏敝某个联系人信息。如果他在你gmail联系人中，但你又不想让他在Pre中显示，那除了在gmail中删除，没有特别好的办法。因为它会在你删除Pre上的联系信息时，同步删除gmail的。
此外，Facebook的联系人也删除不了。如果你有很多的同事，同学的信息，又不想让它们出现在Pre中，可能只能用避免添加Facebook账号来解决。不过，可能在发售时会有解决办法吧。

So basically I found out that one of my friend's friend's dad works at palm and that he's been carrying around the pre for quite some time. I had about an hour to mess around with it and all I can say is that it is fantastic. I had a iphone to compare it with right next to me. I have a video of it too although it was taken on my motorola q9c. I will up load it soon. $ p- t% K, y  z! @2 U* |7 }

Anyway, from what you've all read, the keyboard itself is really small and could have difficulties typing on it if you're not a tiny asian girl. the phone itself feels amazing within my grips, the back was matte finished and webOS was very smooth. The only problem was that the slider wasn't as refined as say... the G1 where it slides out quickly. Please keep in mind that this was the alpha/beta version of the phone and all the kinks weren't smoothed out yet.   \4 C. x7 U9 }6 U

Also, photos were great, no video yet but the 3mp cam does do quite a fantastic job on the stills. # \" U9 K0 D, g

The phone is considerably smaller than my Motorola q9c. The only new foreign programs taht i saw was the New York Times app. otherwise, its what you've all expected. From what the guy said, the battery is just like treo and lasts just as long. # X4 `8 M6 S  I  K6 g% N3 T

So far, I am reallly impressed and I really want that phone in my pocket on June 6th.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me. I know I'm new, but I've been reading you're posts for quite some time. I've been interested in the Pre since CES." G5 s4 i3 B" M: @

My only gripe so far is the keyboard because it is quite small.

这个东西死胖蛋疼的去申请了专利并通过了。
程序切换速度反正从那么多的视频看下来都挺慢的。

我觉得打开慢，切换还好，希望能有更多实际操作视频看。
