1. A method for managing phonebooks in a mobile terminal (200) containing a first phonebook (241) and a second phonebook (221) wherein the first phonebook (241) is a phonebook recorded in memory resources (230) of the terminal (200), and the second phonebook (221) is a phonebook recorded in removable memory resources (220), the method including preliminary initialization steps of:
- recording { (90), in the memory resources (230) of the terminal (200), data identifying memory resources associated with the terminal (200),when a user switches on the terminal, determining (40) whether the removable memory resources (220) present in the terminal (200) are associated with the mobile terminal (200), andif the removable memory resources (220) present in the terminal (200) are associated with the terminal (200), activating (60) a first operating mode of the terminal (200) wherein the terminal executes the steps of;
detecting (161) whether a user is changing information contained in the first phonebook (241),copying (66) the changed information into the second phonebook (221), wherein the method also includes a step of displaying (130) a proposal that can be selected by a user to record data identifying the removable memory resources (220) present in the terminal (200) as associated removable memory resources,wherein the method also includes a step of, if the removable memory resources (220) present in the terminal (200) are not associated with the terminal (200), activating (160) a second operating mode wherein a user can change only data (223) contained in the second phonebook (221).
