Can anyone help. I resently got a 7650 and it's got loads of pants on it. And I mean loads. Can someone please tell me how to reformat if there is such a thing. Thank you

LOL very funny. Ok a load of crap on the phone. Just wondering if you can reformat the internal memory.

Yeah but you forgot to mention that the format option is only available on the full version. Anyway you can format it without it. First connect your phone to the charger (this is a precaution because the format takes a long time and if the battery get empty during the process then you will ruine your phone). After that when the phone is on stand by press *#7370#. You will also be asked for the security code which if you hadn't changed is 12345. The process will take place afte the restart and will take some time (maybe more than 10 min). Don't even think to press the power button, thinking that the phone hanged during the process. After that the phone will retu to the state that was when you bought it (you will even be asked for the date and time). Don't forget to take back up before the format...

Before you backup phone and reformat it, read this thread about backing up.
