Occasionally, you will need to reboot your BlackBerry, (e.g. if the BlackBerry seems to get stuck hour-glassing, or doesn’t respond). 8830 users know this all too well because of the phone getting stuck when 2 calls come in at the same time.

Did you know that you don’t have to pull the battery? Just p ress ALT-CAP-Backspace to reboot your BlackBerry.

• Note: The first time you do this, your Blackberry will only release your cell connection and re-acquire. In order to truly reboot your Blackberry, press ALT-CAP-Backspace, and as soon as the screen comes back up, press ALT-CAP-Backspace again.
• On newer BlackBerry models (i.e. 8310, 8830), this only works if you press the right hand caps key.
