Hi, I'm a new user of N70 and Symbian sys. A couple of days ago when i bought the phone, the contacts were copied from the SIM card into the phone. About 150 of them. Is there a way where I can delete all these contacts in one go instead of going through each one of them? Any freewares? I think QuickContact is not.
There was a thread that suggested users delete the contacts.cdb file. Think the file is locked cos I can't even rename it. Am using FExplorer to do so.
Please help. Thanks.

I think QuickContact is not.Go to your Contacts List, under options select 'Mark/unmark' > Mark all.There was a thread that suggested users delete the contacts.cdb file.

You should then see all your contacts have a little tick next to them, next select options > delete. This should delete them in one go and save you the hassle of binning each contact one at a time.
As you have found the file Contacts.cdb is always in use and therefore system protected.
