    Contacts editor?

    Is there a way to edit the contacts on the droid?
    I have seen reference to a edit mode in contacts, but cannot find it.
    Is it possible to remove contacts, rename some of contacts, etc.?

    Go into contacts, click on the contact you want, menu > edit contact

    to delete long press on the contact, then delete

    to rename edit the contact then edit the name of the contact
    Resistance is futile.

    What also is nice, if you're synced with Google of course, is the ability to edit the contacts on your PC using the Google Contacts page which can be found here http://google.com/contacts

    Just "press and hold" the contact ... then the menu will open will all the options.

    "Press and Hold" is just like "Right Clicking" in Windows.

    pressing and holding on a contact does nothing. i take it by menu tab you mean the button icon that looks like a ledger or list? in a contact, that does nothing. i am aware i can edit from google but i want also to be able to do it from my phone. thanks for the help.

    Go into your contacts list by opening the app draw and clicking Contacts.
    Long press on a contact brings up a menu with
    "View Contact
    Call contact
    Text contact
    Add to favorites
    Edit contact
    Delete Contact"

    Click Edit Contact and do what you need to.

    Or click the contact, hit the menu button, and click edit contact.

    I just used both methods to confirm I'm not seeing things and the changes went through immediately (make sure you click the "Done" button when you're done)
