Factory Data Reset

First method of resetting it is through the Settings interface:
Home -> Menu -> Settings -> SD card & phone storage -> Factory data reset

Second method:

Power off your handset and then hold the Home key and the End key for about 20 seconds, or until you see a triangle with an exclamation point and a picture on the display.
Now open up the QWERTY Keyboard and hit Alt+W and it will then be restored to factory settings.
