Disable web 'n' walk

I've got a Nokia 2330 with T-Mobile pay as you go, and I'm trying to find a way of disabling the "w'n'w" feature - or at least the shortcut for it on the top right button on the main screen.

 

I saw a similar question (with no solution) on another thread, and someone remarked that it was strange to buy a web-enabled phone and then want to disable the web. The reality is that it's hard to buy a phone these days without web capabilities. Personally I never use the web on my phone, and it seems to be terrible design to put the option to connect right where the "Exit" option is for most screens. Too often I find myself pressing the top right button repeatedly to escape out of nested menus, only to accidentally press that button when the main screen is back - triggering a request to connect to the web.

 

Is there any way of disabling this?

You will need to flash the phone with generic firmware to remove the t-mobile branding.

I had the same problem with my t-mobile branded 6303 - I used Pheonix to install generic firmware.

You may want to check in the forums at Nokia Europe. We don't have web 'n walk in the US, which is where you are posting, and since that is a service offering rather than a link.. This is the same answer I gave you over at T-Mobile USA, by the way, web 'n walk is an exclusively EU product.
