thanks also for the suggestion. I haven't tried Omnis yet. The website suggests that W300 is one of the few handsets unsupported for code reset Phone info | Omnius

I'll give it a try nevertheless.

:( no luck

it seems this phone is cursed and I am doomed to have a Walkman that looks like a phone.

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
