I pulled the sim card out of my phone and placed another in.. turned the phone on... and all the programs installed, games etc. were no visible on the menu screen. Is this like a security thing setup by nokia?

Is there a way around it.. so i can put my 2nd sim card in this phone and will be able to use the phone as normal?:icon14:

Changing of the SIM card should not impact this. Just to make sure: You really changed the SIM card, and not the memory card? (If you changed the memory card, and the apps were installed there, then that'd explain the behaviour.)

yeah... i'm retarded but it was the sim-card i changed.
Well i dont know what happened the first time... but I did it again later last night and now its working perfecto. so... cheers neways!😊

This can sometimes happen if the memory card isn't seen on startup. Tends to happen if it is loose in the slot (which can happen if you switch cards a lot).
