Am I the only one to whom it is not obvious, how to locally sync contacts from OS X to WindowsPhone (Lumia 920)?

I can export all contacts in OS X Addressbook as single vcard. But upon arrival, only the first of my 450 contacts does have a profile picture, which is a bit unsatisfactory. Also how can I remove all existing contacts on the lumia 920 device? I can't find any option. Is this seriously possible for M$ to not offer this option?! Wow you really must be interested in my address book data then I assume?
