Hi I'm new to Salesforce
In the follwing code, how can I avoid using the con List.
Is there a way in which you can use SOQL query on trigger.new directly instead of bringing in another List ??
trigger ContactTest on Contact (before insert, before update) {

    List<Contact> con = [Select Id, Account.Phone from Contact where Id in : trigger.new];
    for(Contact c: trigger.new)
    {

         for(Integer i=0; i< trigger.new.size() ; i++)
    {
        c.OtherPhone = con[i].Account.Phone;
    }
}

}

Also, can the above update be done with WOrkflow Rules ??

Thanks,
Murthy
