Curious for best practices with managing and synching contacts across my iPhone and windows based computers where I use Outlook to read mail and manage email contacts. Until now, I would occasionally add phone numbers to my phone directly. After I started including my work Outlook account on my phone, my work contact would be visible, so I found it easier to add and edit contacts on my work laptop in Outlook knowing they would show up in my phone. This is great until the day that I no longer work at my company -- which I am not currently planning. Before my home laptop died this summer, I had personal contacts in Outlook on my home computer, but only used that for capturing emails. When my laptop died, I had to have my iPhone pull in my Hotmail contacts so that I could reach people. Now I see that I have cases where I had entered a phone number in my phone, but there is a second entry in Contacts from where an email address pulls in from Hotmail. If I combine those two in my phone, does that mean that I would no longer have access to the email address from Outlook on my personal computer? Or, is the best practiced to go back and move the phone number entry into the entry that comes over from Hotmail so that I maintain the entry in places via the Hotmail link to my iPhone? If the recommendation is to always enter new contacts on the laptop, what do you do when you are on the go and have a new phone number to add?
