How does one delete a contact or a Voice Memo from within the iPhone. I can't see this anywhere. Thanks!

Well as for voice memos I don't know since i've never used that feature. But contacts I can help you with. You need to first click on a contact's name, then the Edit button. At the bottom right of the screen is a delete contact button, though it can be very hard to find. You almost have to slide your finger over the bottom right corner of the screen until you hear delete contact. Interestingly though, if you first double tap an edit field on the contact form (and it doesn't matter wich), that problem seems to be eliminated and you can find the delete button fairly easily.. Just double tap it and then confirm and the contact will be deleted.

This could be different since I'm running the beta of iOS 5. The same way there is a delete button on the lower right hand corner for contacts, there is also one located in the same position when a memo is playing.

If you do a right swipe on the screen, it goes through the different buttons that are available to you on that screen. If you can't find a button by searching, I'd suggest doing it that way.

Problem is that the Delete button doesn't appear when you swipe. It just goes fro the last field of the contact form to the Favorites button and the rest of the standard phone buttons, contacts, recents, voicemail, that sort of thing.
