NOTE: This does NOT delete the Operating System from your BlackBerry.
This wipe will remove ALL personal data (contacts, memos, calendar appointments, settings, preferences, etc.) from the device, almost as if "factory fresh". The device will still work for you or your next user. This wipe will NOT delete most Third Party Applications.
