No the Nokia doesnt have storage to keep a 200 some meg image of itself in flash memory. Just follow all the directions from the flash tool and you should be able to default it. You can also use the control panel to sort of "reset" the device. Click Control Panel then click the menu of it on the top left and goto Tools > Restore original settings or clear device. both of those options will leave some files intact...not a pure reset like re-flashing it however. From the help file. Restore original settings : "...This funtion does not affect the content you have created..." Clear device data : "...this funtion does not affect the applets you have installed..." I hope this helps
