I just found this out on another website, I tried it and it works! Enclosed are the instructions, since I have not seen this topic before, I'm conisdering it a new trick!
The following may be dangerous for your phone im not sure, this technique work extremely well for me and allowed me approx 625kb of free space compared to the 275kb i had before. It removes the following features: Network customisations (for example on my phone it had a T-Zone icon instead of the normal wap icon and T mobile start up and shut down logos instead of sony ericson ones.) it also removes preinstalled themes and images and sounds which also take up a lot of space, but deleting them normally either doesnt free up space or takes too much time or just isnt possible. Heres how todo.
1) goto settings -> master reset -> reset all, it will then ask you to enter your security code. as you finish entering the code count 12 - 13 seconds (12.5 secs exact) for best effects.
2) when you get to 12 - 13 seconds remove the battery quickly and then wait 30 seconds.
It is important the battery is removed on 13.
When i tried this at first went to 13 seconds but it didnt remove the tmobile icons and one of the tmobile logos, however on a 2nd attemt i accidentally removed at approx 10seconds which removed all the tmobile stuff and all themes everything there was more free space.
3) replace battery and allow for reboot, may take upto 60seconds this time
*****warning i dont kno if you can damage your phone doing this i suspect it may be possible to prevent the firmware from reloading if the is a bootsector which is not installed because the battery is removed to soon, this is a concern i had but im not sure how the T300 is built so i cant be sure if that idea is correct maybe someone else might know*****

your welcome. Even though I wasn't the first to find that information.

Why do they do this anyway? My phone is my phone, not my service provider's, or anyone else's. If I want to delete something, it's my business, so they shouldn't make it impossible.

@all it works on every
phones to date except may be the p series...
another safer option is to do a flash with an empty firmware....

Well I haven't tried this with my K700i back then . . . Looks quite dangerous performing it! Unless you are a stuntman!
