    Mark,my problem is that i can’t afford more than $410 & the current price of n85 is $470.I think if there is a 2gb version than it would cost less.If n81 & n95 comes with 2gb version,why cant n85?Should i wait for 2-3 months for price to come down.

    You need a filemanager which can view you system folders.Then search for a folder which consists of mbm,ini & skn files.Open the mbm file,if you want to delete that theme then delete the entire folder which consists the mbm,ini & skn files.
    restart cell
