I recieved my K700 this morning, thought i'd put some pics up to show the branding on the phone. It doesn't seem as if they have heavily branded the phone.
If there any other pics you would like just let me know, i will post them up.

Pretty much identical branding to that of my previous T630 on T-mobile, looks like they've just changed the internet icon to the t-zones icon.
That t-mobile theme is horible thou, and i bet you can't delete it from the phone

Also looks like they have moved the icons around a bit!

hmm yup they dun their usual 2 it basically - change the logo at to bottom from quickshare 2 t-mobile and yes they have changed around their icons. the 1 thing which wud really piss me off is that they have changed the softkey in stand-by to T-zones from more. Im happy that ive left T-mobile and now have a basically unbranded O2 K700. How much did u pay for your K700 on tmobz??

Yeah, i does look like the've replaced the shortcuts button with t-zones - why oh why do voda/t-mobile/orange do this! There is already a button for wap on the side of the phone plus the one in the menu.
My virtually unbranded 02 k700i has this menu and its the first SE to have it (previous t610 & t630 on Vodafone and T-mobile) both had live and t-zones icons there and now i've got the shortcut menu i find it so handy for switching on things like bluetooth and IR

Got my K700 on T-mob yesterday, all is fine apart from the poxy right softkey!! They even delivered it next day before 12, which i was very surprised at!
To make things even worse, I think they have created the softkey as an image, rather than text. This means when you change themes to anything other than the t-mob one you get the button with a pink block around it......it looks absolutely awful! Completely spoils the look of the themes!
Has anyone else seen this on theirs?

I've just returned my K700 on Orange because of all the issues with Orange Branding, was thinking of taking on T-mobile because at least you can use the shortcuts function and play mp3 ringtones (and I get a retailer staff discount on line rental - which I can't get on O2 - otherwise I'd buy from them before anyone asks!)
Shame T-mob still have mucked up the right softkey - that business to do with it not changing colour when you change theme sounds horrible - can anyone else confirm that is the case.
Can anyone confirm that shortcuts and mp3 ringtones work on t-mobile version (branded)? and does the t-mobile version have shortcuts on the phone 'desktop' like the orange branded one, and if so can they be removed?
Thanks
Dan

You can def play MP3 ringtones on the branded T-mob phones. The right soft key does link to T-zones. They have changed 2 icons on the main menu, same as they did on the T610 - see the pics above.
Appart from that they have their name stamped on the outside in a few places, thats about it!

In fact Hetz, my phone is different to yours.....i have got 2 T-mobile icons on the main screen, the top left one on yours is the original SE one....strange!
Did you order your phone from T-mob direct? When did you receive it? I wonder if your having the same issue with the colour behind the right softkey?

Has the t-mobile one got the my friends option in the messaging menu ?
Posted by paulbroughton
Nope - thats not their either
And what has happed to the 'reply and delete' option in text messages! I loved that!
Posted by dan_myers
Paul,
Thanks for the info re the mp3 ringtones. What about shortcuts can you actually create new ones? either on the 'phone' desktop (like orange has factory fitted) or on the joystick e.g. push left to create a text message?
I'm thinking of buying over the net at onestopphoneshop.co.uk - I got the orange k700 from them - v.good service and they are now stocking the t-mobile version, I need to decide tomorrow whether to go t-mobile or not?
Thanks
Dan

Hi paul, strange that with the icons, i got mine from T-mobile direct. You cant change the colour on the softkey which is a shame. Appart from that i have no other issues with the phone.

Have anyone who has a t-mobile branded k700 got any problems with the alarm on it?
None of the t-mobile branded k700's we have in the shop (including mine) work with the alarm. The screen flashes when the alarm goes off, but there is no sound.
Can anyone else confirm or deny this?
Posted by templar
I can confirm that the alarm function does not work correctly on my t-mobile k700.
A word of warning don't do a master reset, i did in the hope of getting rid of all the crap on my phone, instead it replaced my internet services icon with a t-mobile jukebox icon and introduced links to t-zones in the pictures, sounds, and video directories in file manager. So now im stuck with even more shite than previously, its a nightmare. It wouldnt be so bad if the t-mobile colour scheme wasnt pink, it completely messes up any themes.
Is there any other way to access internet services menu???

hi sorry about the blank posting pretty new to this myself.anyway i also found that the alarm on my k700 also didnt work apart from the flashing...but then decided to try a different alarm single. the baby one seems to work fine but got in touch with the t mobile operator who told me i could have the handset replaced if i wished so.thats if its within 28 day of purchase....but then again whats the point if its a common fault?

Got my T630 today, and was very disappointed with the irremovable softkey button, especially as it's from t-mobile, and I'm on the vodaphone network, I was tempted to take it into vodaphone to see if they could flash it or change the firmware, but they will probably just replace it with vodaphone branding, heh.
Posted by Str1ker
@base, just look on the bright side, at least you can use MP3's for ringtones on your phone, unlike the vodafone branded ones!
