Pointless section?

Is there any value in a section of things that aren't included? It's never going to be complete, since it's an infinite list, any anything selected is just going to represent a POV approach to what this kind of handset 'should' have.

Further, is it worth having things like lists of GSM codes and 'tips'? Wikipedia isn't a manual and this information is available elsewhere.

Failing any good reasons to keep, I plan to remove these.

I've now removed these sections. I'll try and get a picture of the handset at some point this week and add it to the article.

i was looking here for the code to show the mac address, because i was here once before and knew its here. so i was shocked when i realized that it had disapeared. i found it usefull! please revert this! these codes are not GSM codes, they are nokia specific. i think removing them is not a good idea, unless you make a link to a page where these codes are described. important is that this information is somewhere in the wiki. rather here than nowhere! -- 84.72.80.79 02:38, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

These codes are not specific to the E61, and a list of codes isn't appropriate encyclopaedic content. I'm sure there's other sources for this information which are more suitable for lists of technical information, and it's possible to start a Nokia-specific wiki.

These codes are knowledge and who are you to say what's appropriate for an encyclopaedic and what not? So could you tell me the reason why these codes should not be part of Wikipedia? I admit, that these codes are not special codes only for the Nokia E61, but as long as there is no entry in Wikipedia for all of nokias special codes and a structure that says which code belongs to which cellphone model, it should be content of the entry for the Nokia E61. By the way, what criteria should a topic fullfill, so that it is allowed to be part of an encyclopedia? Maybe these codes would match such criterias. At least they are useful knowledge.
