Just curious as a mate of mine deleted the only game on her Samsung (playing with it of course). It's J700 and she said that the local O2 shop where she got it from was less than helpful

Any suggestions??

    When I worked for a mobile network late last year we were asked this question alot in such cases as upgrades, if she has bought the games through the phone networks services and id assume in any other case where its been purchased then the answer is generally no they cant, its due to copyright issues and generally when the game is installed onto one handset to stop revenue loss by the producer it is locked to that particular handset.

    This is just from experience and may not be the case for you but Im thinking it will be :(

    Thanks for that, very helpful, we learn something new every day. I didn't think that she could just delete a game if as you say was locked to the handset. :o
