Way to Erase Data From Blackberry Storm 9530

Blame AT&T greed for me having to part with my Blackberry Storm. It hurts. Now that I have switched to Sprint's $69.99 per month for unlimited everything, and my unlocked Blackberry Storm won't work on the Sprint network, I had to get a different phone from Sprint.

Then it dawned on me: It was not enough to yank my SIM card from the Blackberry; I still had many contacts on the phone's hard drive. And I didn't want all that information in the wrong hands, especially when I was thinking of giving my the Blackberry to my daughter, to my son, selling it or recycling it. Whichever choice I made, I needed to erase all data from the phone.

If you have a reason to erase data from your Blackberry Storm, here are the simple steps - the process is called a Wipe as in "wipe clean".

1. Press the Menu button with the blackberry logo.
2. From your Blackberry's home screen, select Options.
3. Scroll down and select Security Options.
4. Select Security Wipe.
5. Select the Data option or whatever the equivalent is. If you used your phone for emails and want to erase Emails, Contacts, etc, check that box too.
6. Press menu button to select Show Keyboard.
7. Type the word blackberry in the text box, and press the return.
8. Click Wipe.

I am not certain if this process works on other Blackberry models. If you have a model other than the Storm, you may want to check the user's manual or check the Blackberry website for online help.
