I have a cingular 8125 and I have since migrated to a newer model. Aside from the built-in memory erase option, are there other tools available to "securely" erase phone's memory? I want to make reasonably sure that I have not left anything recoverable on the phone.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Doing a hard reset to the phone will erase all date without leaving a trace.
