Format and SMS problem

Hi,

anyone knows how to hard format the 6630? i would like to know this because, today the phone takes about 30m to give me the delivery report of the sms i send(no its no problem from the network), and for example someone send me a sms at 8:00 and i only receive it at 8:30/9:00. if i switch off the phone and then turn it back on, i receive the sms imediatly.... whats wrong? anyone know?

tnkx in advance

Nothing to do with your phone. Usually operators configure SMS-Cs (the SMS servers in the network) to scan the queue when a user registers on the network i.e. when the phone is switched on. So queued messages are received as soon as the phone is on. But when someone sends you a message and your phone is on (and under coverage) the message shouldn't be queued at all and should be delivered immediately. So either your operator has congestion problems or you are out of coverage very often (which is probably yet another thing to blame your operator for).
