I'm told that a "reboot" does some stuff that doesn't happen with a shut down and start up the next day. I may need to get hold of my phone supplier and ask these questions there. |

What's mostly going to happen is all the apps you Fire up during the day will be terminated. You can do the same thing without power down by holding the button and sliding each app window (or card) to the top of the phone. This is the Palm patent now owned by Qualcomm that Apple is blatantly infringing but that's another matter. |

I'm sure it would benefit my iPhone as well, but it looks like it will require me to have a password to get it to work afterward. I don't know of a password for that. I meant to check with the phone folks but forgot. |
