Selling PE; Do I Need to Reset?
For security's sake, should I reset the Pocket Edge if I'm selling it? Are there risks keeping the Allmine update (I believe it had to be registered with Google GMail, if I'm not mistaken.) In any event, I have not used this device and have found a person who wants it. I will not sell it until nothing on the device can be associated with me. Is Reset a simple matter of sticking a pin in the Reset circle? Thank you.

I don't understand your response. (Too brief.) I have never reset this PE or for that matter anything but a broadband modem.

Choose Settings if it is on the Home Screen, otherwise press the big X about 3/4 of the way down the screen and scroll down and select Settings --> Privacy --> Factory Data Reset

Thank you. It worked. I assume that the buyer will have to re-install the upgrades. My last question is: is it possible to re-upgrade (after a user has reset the device)?

Thanks in advance.

Whatever system updates you applied should still be there. The factory reset deletes all user data and accounts. If you want to be 100% sure open gMail and see if it automatically logs in.
