I have about 200 contacts, 90% are job related. It's a big task so I can't be bothered to delete the personal contacts to whom I no longer speak, but there sure are a lot I can cut.

Interesting. Cheri, you made me wonder how many people even have a use for a phone book anymore. I may actually get one.

Actually I created my own phone/address book by buying a notebook.I weeded out my old contacts along time ago.

My cell phone just sits in my desk drawer cause I perfer to use my landline phone instead.

This is only my opinion but I don't wish to become prisioner to my own cell phone.

LOL....I just acquired my first Blackberry two months ago and it was because my son gave it to me. I'd still be predictive texting on my flip phone now if it wasn't for him. I'd be clueless with an iPhone.

I clear off contacts once in a while on my BB. Former clients or people I don't talk to often. Usually its a year or longer.

I absolutely refuse to carry the freakin' internet around with me. I have no desire to be that "in touch".

I have one too. At home.

I saw a lot of numbers there that I know I copied to my Blackberry and thought to myself, why? Some of them I have no recollection of and others I will never have anything to do with or in common with again. I remember thinking that those names I didn't remember would come to me. But how would they unless they actually called me? Even those I do remember are so out of touch, why bother?

Needless to say, programming my new phone wasn't as tedious as I thought it was going to be. There are many people who are guaranteed to never hear from me again.

Do you all have people in your contact list you know you'll never speak to again? Do you have any particular reason for keeping them there or have you just not gotten around to deleting them?

Well you still have TVSG at the top of your contacts list, right?
