Hi all,
Now being the proud owner of an 8800 Special Edition i need some help usually the first thing i do on getting any phone is delete all the preinstalled ring tones wallpapers etc etc. Now i tried doing this from the phone but there is no delete option, i then tried doing through PC Suite by copying them into a newly made folder and got the message copy protected files can not be moved. How can i get rid of them or can't i? . The reason is i always use the same MP3 ring tone CTU 24 and Matrix ring loop for message alerts i really don't need all this junk on my phone even if it is special. Also on the Nokia website i have found some stereo bluetooth headsets that will work and give me stereo Music from the phone even without A2DP but without deleting this garbage will have very little space for more than a couple of play lists not full albums as i always encode at the best quality possible and even in aac this does not leave me enough space. Any suggestions welcomed or will i have to call the premium care line on Monday.

Hi Fatreg,
Many thanks for the reply, so its off to find a friendly Nokia service centre then otherwise i can't use this as a music player not enough memory to put enough tracks encoded the way i want them. What i don't understand is Nokia are offering Stereo bluetooth headsets for this phone which would be just for the radio then and makes no sense to me. Oh well suppose it will save money not buying one then still love the phone just wish it was an S60 with a memory card slot and it would be perfect.

Hi Fatreg,
Thanks for the contact info but will try the Nokia Centre first as i actually have quite a good relationship with them due my N93, and remember i do have a large Albino Dobermann that can be very persuasive. LOL.

Just wondering. How much memory does an 8800 have? One of my classmates tells me it's got like 1 GB but I don't believe him.

Hi all,
well for those that are interested these are still currently available @ the Nokia online shop @ £535 which is £310 more than i paid and here is the full spec and what has confused me is although it doesn't mention A2DP it does say Stereo bluetooth streaming and although it says 128mb flash memory i only have 43mb free which really isn't enough for a decent amount of Music encoded at the best quality aac. Hence my desire to get rid of all the special and not wanted stuff. Yes Fatreg i am a Club Nokia member and have been for ages but looking forward to seeing what the 8800 privilege service is like as now i have 2 top of the range devices i expect service.

Guys 1 question. . . . I have heard a lot about this 8800. . . . The specs aren't that cool though. . . . But what is it in this phone that makes it so special. . . .???? I know its expensive for sure. . . . Only if it did have the features of a 6233. . . . I would have gone for this. . . . . And isn't this a bit heavy. . . . I wouldn't have expected anything more than a 100g for this phone. . . .
