Just opened the People app on my DesireZ and found in it the email addresses of a couple of hundred former students of mine from back when I was a teaching assistant at uni! 
I have NO idea where it got them from, because they're not in my contacts anywhere - not on GMail, not in Outlook, not on anywhere else like Facebook or whatever! The way I used to contact them was I would keep all their addresses in a .txt file and then simply paste them all into the BCC field in an email - did the phone actually crawl through my emails and add every single person I ever corresponded with regardless of whether I had them in my contacts or not??? And if so, how the hell do I undo it? I can't possibly delete all these people one by one, I can't just hold down Shift and select multiple contact entries like I could on my old WinMo phone, and it's not like I can delete them in GMail/Outlook and then sync the deletions cause they're not even ON there!!!
I am seriously tempted to just nuke the phone and start over, it's THAT bad in there!!!
