Help!! 6210 with dead display needs to be erased

I've got a 6210 with an entirely dead display. The phone is still
working, I can receive and make calls. But it's pretty useless without
a display.

Before I get rid of it on ebay, I would like to erase the contacts as
well as all SMSs that still might be in the input folder.

I need somebody to tell me the exact sequence of buttons to press to do
the following:

1. erase all contacts from the memory-resident phone book (not the SIM
card).
2. erase all SMSs from the input folder

As I do not have a display, please use the following terms for the buttons:

left button
right button
scroll up
scroll down
off hook
on hook
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
* 0 #

Thank you.

Just throw it in the bin!
Smash it to bits with a hammer, it will make you feel great and worth more
than the 5 quid you'll get for it on eBay........

Thanks a bunch, Peter! The sms erase procedures seem to have worked
just fine.

May I ask you to have another look at the quoted part? there seems to be
something wrong with the first part, where it says "button" without
left/right/up/down.

Also, the second part gives me an (error?) beep after: right, down,
down, down, right, down (beep!)

What's wrong there (if anything)?

Your procedure has two parts:
1: selects phone memory,
2: erases phone memory

The second part gives me an (error?) beep. After: right, down, down,
down, right, down (here come the beep)
