So does "delete the partnership" equate to "Delete Mobile Device" on the
file menu of ActiveSync 4.5?

Why is it necessary to backup and restore the contacts on the phone in this
case?

Partnership sounds to be totally stupid inappropriate name for something so
obviously asymmetric.
Partnership suggests the two copies are equal but they clearly are not since
deleting the partnership destroys one copy of the contacts (on the phone)
but not the other (on the PC).
As often happens with Microsoft I'm left thinking WTF? are they deliberately
trying to alienate their customers.
