Most recently, Google informed based on users feedback, Gmail brings slight changes in contact pages to make it better and user friendly. I just checked my account, I still not getting the changes to my account, possibly it will take few more times or hours to get this features updates under my account.

“Contacts now works more like the rest of Gmail, so if you know how to use Gmail, now you should automatically feel comfortable in Contacts too. And you’ll see a bunch of the features you’ve requested, including:

• Keyboard shortcuts (go to Contacts and hit “?” for the full list)
• Sort by last name (look under “More actions”)
• Custom labels for phone numbers and other fields
• The ability to undo changes you’ve just made
• Automatic saving
• Structured name fields, so you can adjust titles, suffixes, and other name components
• A bigger, more prominent notes field”
