How to format my mobile phone ?

Its rather easy and the following method was tried on a Blackberry Bold 9700 and a Bold 9000 (OS V5) :
– Access the phone’s menu with the Blackberry key and find the Configuration icon. It can be located in a folder holding the same name. The icon is sometimes subtitled “Options”.
– Open the app
– Go to “Security” and find “Security Wipe”
– Select what you want to erase (all to erase everything)
– type the word “blackberry” and click “Wipe Data”

Once you’re done just wait for a few minutes. Your phone will be reset and erased.

Notes :
– This method also works with the Javelin 8900 et le Curve 8520
