Enter "blackberry" to confirm handheld wipe.

Just as an update to this..... or additional info (8330)

I had to go to General Settings, then scroll down to Services and click the trackball to get to the Wipe Handheld function.

Then confirm, followed by typing blackberry.

All wiped now.

Can send back clean!
