hm. the fatest i can think of...is to move your contacts on your outlook (or what have you) to another folder like a pst, and then synch it... all your contacts will disapper in a minute :D

(weird logic i know, but, hey, it works)

Alex, wipe handheld will clear you BB of ALL personal data: contacts, calendar, tasks, settings, etc.

Options > Security > General Settings: click to wipe handheld

Might want to note that the clear option will not become active unless Desktop Manager sees a backup file in your profile. So if the option is ghosted out the first time you try, first do a full backup the device and let it save the file where ever it's default is ( Usually My Documents) , then try again.

Hmmmm...

I tried the above suggestions, and then when I re-enabled wireless sync, all of my contacts showed up on my blackberry again!

Is there a good way to clear them off the BES server?
