Every Research In Motion (RIM) BlackBerry user should know certain basic techniques–BlackBerry hard and soft resets, data back up processes, memory management and optimization, for example–and how to wipe a BlackBerry and restore it to default settings surely also belongs on that list. Whether your organization is upgrading your current device and you need to exchange that old 7130 for a shiny new BlackBerry Bold, or you’ve decided to switch devices on your own and you’re handing down an old BlackBerry to a friend, it’s smart to wipe any and all sensitive information from your smartphone before passing it off, to ensure that your personal data remains private.
