I've only owned my Bold 9780 for a year now, so I am no expert. I keep reading how everyone has to pull the battery when there are problems. In the year I have owned the phone I have not pulled the battery once(I'm not a super heavy user). What I do when things seem alittle funky is use the Left Alt - Right Caps - Delete keys at the same time. This causes the phone to reboot. For me it has always worked.
Am I missing something by not pulling the battery?
PS. After using my Playbook with the swipes, going back to an iPad feels archaic.
You're doing just fine. Pulling the battery is a more thorough reset. Just remember it as an option. It's especially useful if your phone freezes, and alt-shift-delete isn't possible.
You can compare the two methods to your PC. Where you can either hit restart or shutdown. Shutdown and then starting up again will achieve a better PC reset than just performing a restart.
It's the same for your BB.
