Select correct information when merging contacts

Sometimes two versions of a contact (e.g. local and LinkedIn) have different information (e.g. photo, email, etc.). Merging currently replaces one set of information, with no opportunity to choose which information remains.
It would be great if, when merging, any conflicting fields were highlighted (e.g., both photos) and the user was given the opportunity to choose which information to keep in that field for the merged contact.

When you merge two or more contacts, all of the non-duplicate title information goes in the title bar to then edit

When I merge, using the first name as the base, the merged name becomes first name first name. Wrong!

When you merge a named contact + an email contact, the merged contact takes the email address as the first name

Add this option when merging contacts

Feedback from user: Perhaps a way to do it is if we "star" the main contact card or bake some sort of priority based on the medium.

CJ, I agree generally, but I’d love for it to be field by field. For example, keep the new photo from Facebook, the job title from LinkedIn, and the phone number from my personal contact card.
Prioritizing one medium over the others risks replacing good information with inferior information, especially given that different contacts may be inconsistent in how they use LinkedIn / Facebook / etc.

Please! This is such a critical flaw in Dex and so many other personal/CRM's like it. We need to be able to trust our data isn't going to be corrupted.. and the simplest way to do that is to put a human (us) in the loop to confirm.
