unlike sony ericsson and others Nokia doesnt have a default settings button. You have to do some special keycombination when restarting im not sure exactly what

It's called a software regression or a bug.... Usually they are introduced accidently as a result of one or more changes to the code.

so its a mess-up and should be fixed in the next firmware right

It is possible it will be fixed. But it is not guarenteed. Make sure you notify Nokia via email or something of this. Maybe then it will be fixed. There is never any definate answers when it comes to things like this. It could be that part of the code that causes bugs and that is why it was removed.
