Unhappy Accidental Deletion of Data, Apps

Hi,

I recently upgraded my existing mobile to the 5500. I did a lot of research and I am loving this phone. But this is my first Nokia phone and I am getting accustomed to the new key layout and functionality.

Now the problem I have is with the 'C' key. When I am in a contact and I press the C button, it asks for deletion of the contact. Similarly when I press the C button on any application it asks for removal of the app. Many a time, me or my friends have accidentally deleted something by pressing Yes to the confirmation without reading properly. If I delete it its ok, but if the phone is not with me then I cannot find out what has been deleted.

Is there any way to disable this feature or is there any way to configure the mobile to ask me a passcode while doing any sort of deletion. Is there any software available to help me with this issue?

Thanks in Advance,
Kuku.

Not 100% sure, because I have not tested removing apps with ´c´, but I think You can only delete a file or an icon with it. So it should not remove app? If it does, this is a thing that has to be fixed.
As You know apps are normally removed from App mgr. -> select app -> left select -> choose remove.
Still, if You delete accidentally by clicking ´c´ You have to confirm it. I guess You have used ´enter´ between the diagonals...it is same as left selection. Meaning ´ok´. Right selection key=cancel.
Perhaps there is a program or a way to unable this ´c´ deletion. If I´ll find one, post into this thread.
I´d like to know if this is the same for other phones too?

Yup, it does delete the entire application, similar to app manager->remove, and not just the icon. Of course it asks for the confirmation but still I would like to disable this feature. Both for applications and in the contacts also.

I'm surprised there is no software/application available that prevents this.
