Vicky (or a moderator): Could you add a question mark to the thread title? As it reads now (a statement, which it isn't), it could be misunderstood.

WARNING !!

FORMATTING YOUR ORANGE NOKIA 6600 IS HARMFUL !!

IF YOU DO A HARD RESET OR FORMAT OF YOUR ORANGE 6600 NOKIA THEN YOU WILL LOSE NETWORK SPECIFIC FEATURES.

LINE 2 ON ORANGE WILL NOT WORK AFTER A HARD RESET OR FORMAT...

YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RECEIVE CALLS ON LINE 2.

Other features may also be affected.

I speak from experience as i have done this twice, and both times line 2 failed to accept incoming calls. The only solution was a replacement handset.
