This guide describes how to setup your Palm Pre to have separate gmail profiles for your phone's contacts and your phone's emails.<br />
<br />
-----
<br />
1.) Create a new gmail account to hold your contacts. Something like firstname.lastname.phone@gmail.com or oldemailaddress.phone@gmail.com would be suitable.<br />
<br />
2.) If you have a contacts on another system that you'd like to transfer over download the appropriate Google Sync program at [http://www.google.com/mobile/sync/ http://www.google.com/mobile/sync/]<br />
''NOTE: At the time of this writing sync applications were available for the BlackBerry, iPhone, Nokia, SyncML, and Windows''<br />
<br />
3.) Run the Google Sync application using your new *.phone@gmail.com email address.<br />
<br />
4.) Add both your original email address and your new *.phone@gmail.com email address to your Palm Pre. <br />
<br />
5.) Run the Sync application on your Palm Pre.<br />
<br />
6.) Delete your original email address from the Contacts app on your Pre.<br />
<br />
7.) Delete your *.phone@gmail.com email address from the Email app on your Pre.<br />
<br />
<br />
That's it! Now your Pre checks email from your original gmail account and is synced up with the contacts on your new *.phone@gmail.com email account. This has 2 added bonuses. In addition to keeping your email contacts from cluttering up your phone contacts you also have a backup of your contacts on Gmail and you can edit your contacts from within Gmail. The changes will be migrated over to your Palm Pre automagically!
