 | master reset & hard reset is the same thing...erases all the data soft reset is taking out the batter and putting back in or turning on and off the phone.... master reset...turn off the Q turn back on and hold down the center silver button and then follow the prompts...will restore all original ROM software and registry but will remove all settings and other programs

   | soft reset is just power off and back on. Master Reset (some people call it a hard reset) is Start > System Tools > Master Reset (it will be reset to out of the box state)
