are using a blackberry Smartphone that does not contain a
Qwerty Keypad such as the BlackBerry® Torch ™ 9850
Smartphone , you won ' t be able to use the soft reset you are

technique applies to all BlackBerry Smartphones ..

How To Performing The Soft Reset
The Soft Reset is very quick and its just a simple combination
of 3 - Keys . Whenever you want to do this type of reset you
don ' t need to remove the battery . As mentioned previously , it
is only available on BlackBerry Smartphone models with a
QWERTY keyboard , such as the BlackBerry Bold 9900
Smartphone or BlackBerry Torch 9810 Smartphone .

Smartphone is restarted, you can then release the keys you
have been holding .
