Turn the phone off. If it won't go off, thats ok.
Close the keyboard.
Lay the phone down flat on a desk, sideways. So when you are looking at it, the antenna points to your left.
Take the Stylus out and hold it on your right hand like a pencil.
Press down both buttons with "-"'s on them with your left hand. I use index for one and middle finger for the other.
While you are still holding them down, take the stylus and press it into the reset hole. (the hold on the bottom of the phone, closest to you. )
Keep holding the two buttons down. The screen should light up and ask you to press Y to restore factory default.
Slide the keyboard out and press yIt will say clearing now, then change to clear OK, Press SPACE to boot. Press the spoace bar, and it should reset, and boot back up to the calibration screen.

Congratulations, if all went well, you have just hard reset.

Good instructions, Carl. I have one addition to that. While pressing the two " - " buttons, make certain that you're not also pressing other buttons along with. The soft keys are directly adjacent to the Windows and OK keys, as well as the red and green phone keys. You need to carefully press only the two soft keys without fat fingering onto the other keys.
