As far as I can tell the default contacts app on the phone does not have a field to enter or edit birthdays.
Is there a way to do this?
What about other contact apps?

On my phone, I can't enter contact's birthdays, but if I've previously entered their birthday on GMail then it does appear in their Contacts entry on the phone, and I can edit it there. Not that useful, as the birthday field is something you're likely to add to someone, and then its not very likely to ever change after that! One workaround that I use if I'm entering this on the phone is to add their birthday into the Notes field, and then later on when I'm at a PC I can go into GMail and put the birthday in properly. This is using the Contacts app on a Galaxy S using their stock Froyo (2.2.1). |

I can edit the birthdays in the "People" app on my HTC Desire just fine (running Android 2.2). So maybe it's a phone-dependent thing? |

On my Google Nexus S, the only way I have found is to use browser access to my GMail contacts, or to log the birthday as a note then transfer later. My HTC Incredible S can capture birthdays natively in the HTC People application, but overall I prefer the "native" Google look and feel to HTC's. As far as I could tell looking at a Galaxy Nexus in a shop on release day, this is still true for Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS), at least in the native Google application. Not good - hope it is fixed soon. |

No, at this point in time, the only way is to go to the Contacts section in GMail and edit a contact's birthday AFAIK. |
