hi

is there an easy way to delete the contents of the address book without doing a factory reset or deleting one by one?

thanks

This is the closest info I could give you How to wipe ALL my personal data from a BlackBerry device? - BlackBerryFAQ.com

NO! There is a much easier way - rather than deleting everything.

Connect the BB to your laptop or PC and start Desktop Manager.

Go into the Backup/Restore function.
Click on Advanced - on the right hand side you should see the Device databases.
Click on the Address Book and select "Clear".

That will wipe out the Addresses and leave the rest of customer data there.

Mod, could you please include that in the FAQ? Or did I just miss it? I woke up ugly. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for clearing it out sooner!

I used that method just today to clear my calendar on my BB, straighten out some goofed recurring events in Outlook and then sync from Outlook back to the BB.

And I can't believe I missed it! Thank you takeshi! I should be more careful next time with calling links off the FAQ.
