Here's where the fun begins. All of my contacts synced to her phone. Not just the people I had in my contacts list, but ANYONE and EVERYONE I've e-mailed from my gmail account. There are 100's of craigslist email 'contacts' and a slew of others that the only contact I've had was a single e-mail. What a mess... She went from having a few dozen contacts to having 100's.
My gmail account is now the primary account and can not be deleted. Sprint geek suggested resetting the phone, but then we'll lose everything else that been set up. Yuck.
I'm thinking we'll sync all of the contacts to her gmail account, and start cleaning it up there. Then I guess we'll need to reset the phone to remove my account and put her's in from the start. Yuck yuck...

If your gmail acct is in her phone just do a straight up reset / wipe of the phone (under security if I remember correctly) and start over, just whatever you do don't ADD her account to the phone (so your email and her email are on at the same time) because it will merge all the contacts.
Oh, and you saved all those CL emails cuz u didn't want them in spam, right? It's a mess but u log into your gmail account thru the web and just delete them, no other choice.
Good luck.
