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)

I think you can "Wipe Handheld".

hahah....even faster....but reloading the rest takes a while :P

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

Options > Security > General Settings: click to wipe handheld

or waiiittt...the fastest way to clear your contacts is to contact it to your desktop..load the desktop managger, and then go to "backup and restore" and then click on advanced...and then select address book and then CLEAR

This is the way to do it.

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?

Some days ago I reviewed a program called "EmergencyWipe" which does exactly this
