How do I do a 'hard' reset, and will I lose all data? How do I calibrate the battery?

Calibrate the battery by letting it run flat, then fully charging it, then letting it run flat.
A hard reset is completely unnecessary, post your usage stats.

Barring the £6.50 being over the limit was you expecting anything different.
I am starting to get a bit worried about my 3GS contract, upgraded early with O2 from the 3G but am yet to be billed for anything 3 months down the line.

"Sounds like one of those good problems"
You might get away with it. They forgot to take off my £15 a month discount when I moved to sim only. Saved a packet for about 14 months

Last night I realized just how rubbish our contracts are and just how much this phone is costing me!
Paid £169 for the 16GB 3G (at launch) and £35 p/m.
Then June 19 this year I bought the 32GB 3GS handset for £538 (sold the 16GB 3G on envirofone but didn't get much due to "damaged microphone") and put my £35 p/m contract sim in.... remember the contracts were 18 months, so a 3G launch contract is until January 2010.
So to date thats £169 + £490 + £538 - £140 = £1057.
She got a new phone this week. Is pink and does all she wants it to. 300 minutes and unlimited texts for £15 p/m. What am I getting for £35 p/m? 600 minutes and 500 texts.

You seriously didnt add this all up before you bought it?
Total cost of contract will actually be
£169 + £630 + £538 = £1337 (£1197)
Only way I think I'll even consider it, is by going PAYG. Then I can get £100 back on my current phone, £100 cashback on the contract and £30-40 cashback on the handset, making the overall cost a lot more respectable, but still expensive.

18 x £35 = £630

*** Lay off the insults ***
It clearly says in his post he sold his 3G, thus he did not make a loss of £630 but £490.
Soldato
Oh yeah, I knew it was gonna cost a fair bit and I can afford it
.Post was made just because she was over last night and had her new phone and said that she's getting 300 minutes and unlimited texts for £15 p/m and didn't pay much for the handset, and she jokingly said "and what are you getting for your £35
".... "and how much did you pay for the phone "..... it made me think .
Soldato
Did you miss the bit at the end of his sums with the -£140 and thus (£1197) in brackets? What did you think I put it there for?
The £490 in his sums is his total monthly payments TO DATE.
Have another
Keep it up.

What phone does she have? Gonna assume the iPhone is a lot nicer.

Yeah, the tariffs are pretty shocking really. It saddens me that o2 dont offer better value for money when people are spending a lot of money with them, but I guess they can charge what they want!
Soldato
Don't have a clue. It's pink / purple, and that's all that matters
. I'm sure the iPhone is technically superior.... it's more the tariffs I'm 'ing at.
