Ok, now I know there is a hard reset and a soft reset. Some would say do not do the hard reset cuz of the bettery terminal, etc. But I just realized there r two ways to do a soft reset; which would u recomend, the softreset program or the ALT + SHIFT + DEL... Thanks
I heard that the SoftReset program only works for the pearl. But i d/l it anyways to try it out, and it works. BUT, to do a soft reset all you have to press is alt + cap + delete.
Having the app on the curve just takes up memory.
And I also prefer to do a battery pull. Hardly do any soft resets.
99.9% of us do a Battery pull whenever something goes wrong. How many times do you see the very first answer to a question is "Battery Pull" kinda funny but its true.

Thank u all for a speedy reply. I asked this question because I read that doing a hard reset wears down the battery terminals n the latch for the battery door. Any opinions on that..? So I guess there isn't a big a difference as to how u reset by ur responses. Just as long as u do it lol. Thank u again
Oh, and if there is any major difference between the two softreset options...
Well when you do a soft reset, that is like putting your BB in sleep mode, it doesn't fully shut off, and no there isn't any difference in what it does as far as how you do the soft reset. Now, the hard reset will completely power down your BB when its out and reboot it. The blackberries are much like a small computer. I have worked with all sprint/nextel blackberries for over a year, so if you have any questions let me know! yay!

Thanks for your thoughts Informant.
I just learned this "alt + cap + delete" function in this thread last night. I had been doing a battery pull regularly before.
I cannot tell the difference between doing a battery pull and pushing "alt + cap + delete" on my Curve. In both cases, my Curve does a complete shutdown and turns itself off and then back on and recycles itself.
Perhaps on older models the process is different but the appearances are that the "alt + cap + delete" process does exactly the same thing on my Curve as a battery pull and the "alt + cap + delete" process is much easier on my battery door and my fingernails.

On my 8830, alt-cap-del reboots it, but isn't the same as a battery pull. The memory reading didn't change at all. It is more like going to sleep and waking up. More free memory is available after a battery pull.
