Hi can anyone tell me how on earth you can erase all the device data on a Nokia 9210???

I can't seem to find a way to do this.

Is there no factory reset button??

Thanks

I asume you want to format your 9210.
Just restart your device, when the light in your display gets a little more intence press;
Shift/Ctrl/F

will this reinstate it to it's orginal condition when i bought it. IE. I don't want to wipe all the pre installed applications off it. Only the Data iv'e put on it.
Things like Calendar, messages, email, notes, docs etc..

Formating will remove most of the applications as well. (Will have to reinstall from CD or Nokia Web)

If you just want to remove the data, you will have to the individual files. You could use the filemanager program supplied.

Be careful if you are deleting the contacts/calander files, if you delete these (or all the entries in them) and then syncronize the entries on the PC will be deleted too. To avoid this, remove and recreate the existing tasks in the PC Suite. Inversly, if you recreate the tasks, make sure there are no entries on the nokia or you will create duplicates on the PC.

The default Contacts and Calander files are in the Data directory under System.

Not sure if any of that is of use to you but I've written it now anyway.
