Setting the primary link in Contact also determines which name is displayed James Brown in your contacts could have Jimbo Brown as his name on Facebook and that could be the display name. I have had contactswith their email as the display name and couldn't search for them by name because the email was the primary link.
Also you may have an email only contact that you may want to link to a contact as well. Carl W.

In fact, the only profiles you can actually edit are those in Google Contacts, Exchange, and your Palm Profile (i.e., if you're not using a cloud service). You set a "default" source (I use Google) and all changes to the record go into that default profile. Now, for each person, you can set the primary profile; this is the one webOS uses for the picture (if there are different pictures on various profiles) and the formatting of the name, but all other data (e.g., telephone numbers) are just combined on the device and shown in a list. So, to sum up, Synergy "virtually" combines disparate profiles on your device, but doesn't change any of them through the linking process. If you change any data about that person, it changes it in the default record only. I suggest you play a bit with it if you don't fully get all the "what if" scenarios; dummy records are easy to create, edit, and delete once you understand the ramifications of doing different things.
