How to hard reset the Samsung Omnia 7

The Samsung Omnia 7 is a great, capable smartphone powered by Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 operating system. While many standard customizations are nowhere to be found in WP7, there are still plenty of options and an ever-growing list of apps and games available in the Windows Marketplace.

But what happens if you get carried away or if you decide to sell your Samsung Omnia 7 and buy a new device?

Performing a hard reset or factory reset couldn't be easier with Windows Phone 7. Once performed, your Omnia 7 will be restored to a like-new state with all of your files and personal information cleared from memory.

Here's how to hard reset your Samsung Omnia 7:

1. From the home screen, swipe left to expose your app list
2. Tap Settings
3. Scroll down and tap about
4. Tap reset your phone
5. Tap yes to confirm, then tap yes to confirm again

That's it! Your Samsung Omnia 7 will now be wiped. It will then reboot and you'll be left with a factory fresh phone.
