Building an iPhone 3G address book contact list is simple. As befits the updated, hotter-to-trot cousin of the original iPhone--it surpassed sales of 1 million units in the first three days the device was available--you can even add contact information directly from Maps and SMS messages with just a few taps. Also, with support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, the iPhone 3G lets you access your company’s Global Address List.

Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Follow along as the eHow and Expert Village Digital Lifestyle Expert walks you through adding, changing and searching your contacts on the iPhone 3G in this instructive video.

  2. Step 2

    As you will see, building your iPhone address book is simple. Contacts sync via iTunes each time you connect iPhone to your computer. And you can even add contact information directly from Maps and SMS messages with just a few taps.

  3. Step 3

    With support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, iPhone 3G gives you push contacts and lets you access your company’s Global Address List.

  4. Step 4

    With iPhone 3G, making a call is as simple as tapping a name or number. All your contacts appear in a list you scroll through with a flick of your finger. And Visual Voicemail plays your messages in any order you want, just like email.

  5. Step 5

    You can find other numbers besides those in your address book very easily too. Tap any phone number in Contacts, Favorites, an email, an SMS text message to make a call. If you have a lot of contacts, you can use the search feature to quickly find specific names. iPhone 3G makes it easy to talk to more than one person at the same time. With a tap, you can switch between calls or create a conference call.

  6. Step 6

    Email on iPhone 3G works just like email on your computer. With support for popular email servers and providers such as MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, Yahoo! Mail, Google Gmail, and AOL as well as most industry-standard IMAP or POP mail systems, Apple boasts the new iPhone 3G "puts email in your pocket."
