Yep, that sounds like Orange. They really screw their phones up these days - my cousin's Orange K500 looks absolutely awful. |

Is the menu stuff pretty much like the K700i then? |

I picked up my K750i from the Orange shop yesterday and I'm not sure what the previous poster was talking about. The main menu as pictured in those screenshots looks very similar - the icons have ben redrawn and there's more of an orange tint to them but they are animated.
When you highlight an icon it turns from a flat image into an angled view of the same icon in 3D, giving the menu a very tactile feel.
I don't have a digital camera handy otherwise I'd take some screenshots.
My only complaint is that since receiving the SIM updates a couple of hours after buying it the shortcut menu seems to be broken. Has anyone else experienced this?
So far I'm very happy with this phone though and glad that I saved my upgrade deferment voucher for a few months to get it since the S700 never materialised  |

So does the Orange phone have the 'extra' desktop icons then?? |

Fair enough maybe I'm being a bit over critical - I have come from using a v800 though and I promise you that the Orange OS I'm using now isn't a patch on the v800's unbranded one... Maybe the k750i on O2 isn't as animated as the v800 too?
I want the 'dancing' spotlights from the v800 again!
Damn phone thieves...
BTW the mp3 playback is superb with the megabass turned on, easily rivals the ipod - If only 4GB duos were available and cheap...
Not likely!

@kidscruff:
The Orange menu has as many icons as the O2 one in the screenshot. They're in a slightly different order though. |

@dexter, I was thinking about the 3 icons that appeared on the Orange K700, on the main screen with the wallpaper. |

I know what he means like on the Orange K700i.
I think it is disgusting of Orange have done away with the 'Spotlighted Icons'. It is sacrilige to mess around with those Icons, they are the best you will see on any handset.

I haven't used a K700 but there are no icons on the main screen of the Orange K750. |

Yep they looked awesome, especially as they followed you through each menu option etc... I'm sure it can be done on the k750i though, come on SE! |

Is it possible for someone to upload the Orange Theme when they get a spare 5 minutes (if this is possible?). I'm on Orange and would like to see how the Orange Theme looks on my K750i! Many thanks : ) |
