Howard Forums Member dmiller_40 has no hesitancy about admitting his lack of knowledge about what to do with the BlackBerry 7100g he has just received.

So non-hesitant that he started a thread called "I'm freaking Lost."

In the thread, he described how the BlackBerry he just bought second-hand has a full address book from the previous owner, and there also seem to be a "ton of applications" loaded that he doesn't need.

So he wonders whether to do a complete wipe- of the BlackBerry, that is :-)

Then very frequent HoFo poster (more than 3,600 posts) jase88 cuts to the chase.

Go into OPTIONS, SECURITY OPTIONS, GENERAL SETTINGS, click on the trackwheel and select 'wipe handheld'. "This will remove all personal settings and info from the previous owner," he says. "It will not wipe the operating system from the device.

"Odd that the previous owner neglected to do this themselves....," jase88 adds.

Boy, I'll say, is my two cents. Come to think of it I will raise my bid.

Make that four cents.
