just got a 2nd hand nokia n96 off a mate for 50 quid. its got the text message icon in top right of screen flashing all the time. the phone works fine, there are no messages saved on the sim, phone memory or mass memory and yet it still is flashing. what can i do?

Usually it means that there are texts on your sim (delete them via Menu > Messaging > Options > Sim Messages) or voicemail. But if you have nothing of value on the phone, do a factory reset (dial *#7780# and then enter the security code which is 12345 by default).
If you're with O2 it could also be a push message, i get it on my SE and you have to trawl through the internet settings to delete it, but i can't remember how you access internet/push messages on the N96.

cheers, ive sorted it. what i was doing wrong was going to mesages, settings, use sim memory for texts and deleting from there. did it like you said before and its gone. id never noticed that options - sim messages earlier
