I just got my first android based phone yesterday (droid x) and I noticed this as well. I tried just about everything including various applications and nothing seems to take care of this. Like you said it's very annoying. Someone please help!
This is a very bad thing for those people who regularly cheat on their girlfriends
I just got off the live chat and they told me the same thing, no way to clear it. They said the only thing you can do is delete the contact itself. Horse Manure!!

What?! I cant delete a contact? this is not good......though I am not tiger woods Im not comitted..........this is not a good thing!
You can delete the contacts, that's not what we're talking about. What you can't delete is the history of conversations you've had with your contacts. The only way to delete that history, is to delete that saved contact. You can of course immediately put the contact back in your phone.
This only happens with numbers that you have saved as a contact. It does not keep a history for random unsaved numbers that you talk with.
I went to a Verizon store on Sat (got the phone Friday) dealt with two techs and they couldn't help. Called Verizon on Monday, they too couldn't help. Ordered a new phone to replace it, but Verizon was trying to look further into, as they did that, I fell more in love with the phone which is a HUGE issue because I am someone who constantly needs to delete text and call history. I too have noticed that the only way to do it is to delete the contact and then re-enter them. This just isn't practical.
Spoke with Motorola today via chat (Thank you NKT) This was their response:
Shem: we have been gathering feedback directly from our end users so that we can further improve the features of the phone. Rest assured that your feedback will not be left unnoticed.
Shem: Hopefully the 2.2 update that is coming soon will also address that.
I just did the update from yesterday (7/19/2010) with version 1.13.604. but it's a 2.1 firmware version.. So hopefully this 2.2 comes out very soon. However when I asked for an approximate date for release, this was I was told:
Shem: I would be happy to tell you if I have that information. Since we have not received any official advisory, I'd rather not to give any comment on the exact date because I do not want to set false expectation.
I guess I'm understanding that he doesn't know.. But I'm not understanding to this being an issue to begin with.
It's pretty simple actually. Settings - Applications - Manage Applications - hit the options button - filter by "All" - Scroll down to "LogsProvider" - Clear Data.
That's it really.
But do note this will clear all your history. Call, facebook, message, tweets, everything. But i guess thats what we intend to do.
-open Contacts(from APP FOLDER!!) It makes a difference!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-swipe the screen to the right(with your finger). Red dot at top needs to be all the way to the left.
-menu button
-Clear history
-Clear
Easy as can be.
