Re: Nokia 5800 removal of automatic phone sw updates

if you can spare your time reinstalling your applications, backup and restore your data, etc,
You may go for soft reset.

Soft reset will erase every thing on c:\drive(phone memory) but basic application which can not be remove will still be there. Patches, updates and plugins for a particular application(not firmware) will be remove there by gaining some space on c:\ and improve performance (e,g latest version of ovi maps and its associated files will be erased and only nokia maps will remain, similarly ovistore, etc).

ovi map i not available for my hometown so i removed its updates,
when i visit ovistore, i'll have to update ovi application to enter there but after signingout from there, again remove those updats from app manager. i don't keep those apps like youtube, hi5, facebook etc instead i use bookmarks only.

so its upto you, if you can undergo pain of reintalling, backup and restore, etc
