Your right, to delete from the phone:
- Select the contact you want to delete
- Choose "Edit" from the bottom (Done, Edit, new)
- Choose "Details..." from the bottom
- Click "Delete..."
- Click "OK"

Yes, it's buried pretty deep, if you want to delete a number of contacts, do it from Palm Desktop.

I dont have a Done, Edit, new at the bottom. I have a New Contact, and Message

Im able to delete through the desktop manager tho.

Instead of going back and forth forever, why don't you just post a picture of your screen when viewing a contact.

You need to open the contact that you want to delete, then you can hit the menu button and tap Delete Contact.

Yeah i opened the contacts and deleted them like that but one problem....It only opens on SOME contacts. Like if i hit the center button and select the contact soe of them just dont open, they just sit there....Some I can get the info for some I cant.

Use Stylus to choose the contact you want to delete. Try to click on different fields.

I think I know what it is. The contacts that I can select and get info for (Such as change the number or picture ect) are contacts that I created when I had this phone. The ones that I cannot select or do anything to are contacts from my SIM card from my old phone. So how do I delete thoes?
