Thanks for the advice.... the icon you posted does indeed work, though the top
part of the icon is getting chopped off on my Nokia 6124.

I also created another test icon based on the dimensions you used and did manage
to get an icon, but only using the ink tools within InkScape... might be good
enough though if I spend some time drawing - not my strong area!

Interesting you didn't convert the SVG to an SVG-T - I must have misunderstood
something in the NSB Tech Note as I thought I had to do this, but your method
proves otherwise.
