Just managed to successfully delete all my contacts from both a Windows Phone and a spare Nokia Symbian N8 which was linked to update the same contacts  via Exchange ActiveSync.

Yes - was able to recover easily via restore function on Hotmail account but still do not understand how it deleted from server when I had ticked the boxes that server data was to prevail. My plan was to wipe the Nokia and replace with the contacts from the Windows pkone as auto backed up on the hotmail account. Both phones now syncing fine but the ease of deletion is a concern.

Dangers of an old git getting a bit too clever.

crApple aside, I have found most ActiveSync implementations pretty flakey, including, embarrassingly, Microsoft's attempts.

This is the one and only reason I use an IOS based phone.

What I was trying to say (badly), is ensure you have a backup regime.

.. then feed a few veggies to Mr. Fusion, fire up the flux capacitor, get back into your DeLorean and return to 2013.

Apple aside? I think Apple included .. they've had quite a number of howlers (almost always related to calendaring, oddly) in the last two major iOS releases.  One caused so much traffic to & from our Exchange servers that IT very nearly blocked all iOS devices.. (which for a company that hands out iPhones as the corporate standard phone would be a fairly major move! )

I wonder what iOS7 will break

I was referring to functionality and robustness of what they provide, but, yes, early IOS6 drained batteries in no time as it was hammering the server under specific conditions.

There was also the comical bug that would cancel a meeting for all participants if any one of them declined the meeting invite from their phone..

I could make good use of that one.

Ditto, I can think of many occasions that most of the participants would have thought that no bad thing..

Spare a thought for him. Some people's lives are empty without wasting everybody else's time with session of bullsh!t bingo a couple of times a day.
