Is it possible to merge contacts from different sources and upload them to GMail?

I'd like to merge contacts from different sources -- i.e., imported contacts from phone, from sim card, and from my gmail account -- and upload the ultimate contact on my gmail account. For instance, I know someone's mail adress using my gmail account, and I import his phone number from the sim card. My goal is to update the contact on the GMail account, in order to have also his phone on internet (it's the perfect backup). Is it possible …

How do I change gmail accounts when using the share functionality of an app?

I have 3 gmail accounts coming into my gmail app. I also frequently use the "Share" feature of many apps (Browser, Gallery, BeyondPod...) to share links via gmail however when it opens up the email compose screen sometimes I am given a dropdown to choose which account to send it from and other times it defaults to the account of the last inbox I checked and doesn't give me an option to change it. This does not seem to have …
