I went through a laborious effort of cleaning up the duplicates only to discover that I had cleared all my blackberry contact's birthday appointments. I could not find any easy way of regenerating them. The only way I found was to edit clear the birthday and reenter it again it sounds easy but check out the steps you go thru to do that:
a) Menu, Edit the contact,
b) Scroll down there (It is a long way down to get to the Birthday).
c) Take note of the birthday (There is no way of copying and pasting a birthday in BB).
d) Delete the birthday - Set the thing to none.
e) Menu-Save the contact with no birthday.
f) Menu-Scroll-Edit or Menu-View-Menu-Edit (Have to scroll coz View is default)
g) Scroll down there AGAIN to get to the Birthday.
h) Change None to Date
i) Change the Month to birthday month
j) Change Day to Birthday day
k) Change year to Birthday year
l) Make sure check with your notes in (c) coz you donxxx8217;t want to go through this again.
m) Menu xxx8211; Save
Well over 10 steps!
Cant RIM do anything about this?
