Tip: Windows Mobile - A Kinder, Gentler Reset

Most smartphones have a reset button you can use to restore your system's default settings without losing personal data. Typically, you have to insert your stylus or something paper-clip-like into a recessed hole to achieve the soft reset. While this is fine to do once or even occasionally, if you're resetting often you can protect your smartphone's interior by using a third-party software package to perform a reset.

  •  
  • SoftReset does just what the name suggests. It's $2.80

  •  
  • Reset is a simple, cheap program intended to reduce wear on Smartphone hardware. Like SoftReset, it lets you perform the task without using the button. The utility costs $1.50

  •  
  • HandyMenu lets you control power-off, soft and hard resets and offers other functions. More robust than the others, it costs $5.99.
