The software is for easy-to-use WAP services which I wouldn&#8217;t mind, if they weren&#8217;t from the wrong service provider, thus unavailable to me. I wrote an angryish comment to the company (which sold the phone, not the wrong service provider) asking if the software could be removed, and the response was &#8220;the software must be updated, which costs 25 &euro;&#8221;. So, I&#8217;ll just have to live with it. Perhaps one day I&#8217;ll make the wrong service provider a right one, if they offer good prices (I haven&#8217;t got a bill from my current provider yet &#8212; that&#8217;s how inexpensive they are), and can actually use the services already installed on my phone and flashing that annoying red logo in my face. Until then, I just have to keep my phone on all the time.<\/p>\n<p>Hindsight is 20-20; I maybe should&#8217;ve asked if they had a phone without the darn pre-installed software.
