Hello,

I have a couple of questions:

Is there anyway to delete multiple contacts on the O2 Xda Orbit (WM6) without deleting all.

And also is there anyway to stop Windows Live Messenger contacts being added to your phone contacts.

Thanks

In Windows Live, select 'menu' and go to 'Options > 2 Sync options' and disable the option to store your live contacts in your contact list.

Dunno how to delete multiple contacts on the device, I use Outlook to do that.

Gave the first one a try but when I go to sign in it tells me that my Windows Live contacts will be synced to your contact lists. I did incheck the box which says sync Windows Live contacts is there anyway to stop this.


Thanks

Look into 'ODIR' Outlook duplicate remover (google) when you can sync a pc with activesync. Install ODIR (shows as an option in outlook then) and it will safely remove all duplicates.

Or

Look into a Pocketpc program such as SKTools or pocket Mechanic, both have trial versions, and have the option to remove duplicates as well, but now on your ppc.

The 'newest' wlmessenger has an option in it so you can choose manually. I thought it was at the start (when installing) but it should be in the options (todayitems?) as well.

When you are in contacts tap the keyboard and then tap ctrl on the keyboard and that will let you select more than one contact, once you have selected all the contacts you want to delete just tap and hold on one of the highlighted contacts and select delete.
