Hi guys,

I recently bought a NOKIA 3230 , tried to install some symbian apps and got screwed up big time . Right now all I see is a white screen . (Is this similar to the windows blue screen of death ?? 😊 ) . Could you guys help me out with this ? Im hoping a full format would help . How can I do a full format on 3230 ?

Thanks in Advance,
Neha
