Yes, formatting the phone will erase everything. As a reminder, this process will take a couple hours with the 2.0 software.
 
hmm

no way to retain the apps ive purchased?

is there a way to just clear the emails/contacts/history etc on there
 
You can transfer your apps to your Mac/PC then just sync them to the phone after your restore it. Just like music.
 
so if i go to settings and say erase all content and settings

then resync and add apps that i have on my itunes

that will work?
