its posted all over the forums...

if you have the original Q (which i guess you do since you posted in the original Q forum) turn off the Q and hold down the center silver button

this will wipe your entire phone of all data and take you back to out of the box state
backup anything you want to save

is that the same thing as choosing master reset from within the software menu?
> Start > System Tools > Master Reset

same effect, different method. It comes in handy if Q ever fails to boot up completely
