Hello, To update a contact's notes field in GMail using the API, simply update the contact's "content" element:
http://code.google.com/apis/contacts/docs/3.0/developers_guide.html#Updating For phone numbers, here a list of the field available: http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/docs/2.0/elements.html#gdPhoneNumber Usually, when a phone number is updated, the "rel" or "label" attribute will reflect what has been set in the UI. It is up to the application reading those to store them appropriately.
