  • Soft Reset: This just reboots your phone, useful if you want to clear out the programs running in the background. Hold down Call (green button) + Menu + Power/End (red button)
  • Factory Reset: Restores your phone to factory default settings, deleting any data and applications on phone. Hold Home + Back + Power, then press the Call (green) button to confirm the reset.

I’ve heard that if you use the Back button to get out of applications, it actually shuts them down. That doesn’t seem to work for me, though. I’ve also heard that the new firmware (not yet released) will include a process manager, which should preclude the need to soft reset the phone.
