Default Is this even possible? Separate Bess contacts from Personal??

I have searched the forums and no one seems to be able to answer this question so far thought I would ask...

My job I work for has given me a bold 9000. I have a personal bold2 (9700) I would like to separate my personal 1500 Contacts from the company bess contacts??

Additional notes - I don't mind if syncing my BB with my personal computer to update my personal contacts and also I don't mind not being able to sync my Bess contacts via work PC as well (if I have to turn off wireless sync etc).

PLEASE HELP

You can separate your business and personal address books by editing their Categories and using Menu>Filter

I don't think it's possible to have two separate Contacts databases. As BergerKing noted, you can filter them so you see one or the other, but there is still one underlying database.

What about with the Torch?? Are you able to separate business & personal? Can you lock your contacts without locking the whole phone?

You can't have then not show up. Its all or nothing. You can setup categories and filter but you cant have two separate databases. AT&T address book on a 6.0 device might do the trick. But you would have to play with that.
