Is full formatting healthy to the mobile??

considering that a mobile phone only has solid state memory, it wouldn't detract much from the lifespan or reliability.

However, i am not condoning that you do it everyday!

you should only need to do such an aggressive format if your phone is unstartable or has a problem that cannot be fixed....

According to Orange technical customer services, if you format the 6600 you can lose some network specific features, and so they advise NOT doing a hard format.

You need to find someone with a copy of the Orange Backup program.

I never use Orange Backup, but prefer to synch all my contacts to MS. Outlook. 😃
