Selling Phone No Sim Need To Hard Reset To Remove Contacts Stored On Phone

I have the Samsung SGH-A177 that I would like to sell, although I no longer have the sim card for that phone.  I need to remove all the contacts that are stored on the phone but it seems I am unable to reach a menu screen without the sim card.  What can I do?
