I got mine on Orange upgrade yesterday for free, after a small amount of sweet talking, as they were supposidly keeping the handset for new connections only until next week (tue I think)

i always found a better deal calling Orange directly on 150. If the upgrades department doesn't give you a good deal, then phone Orange Retentions and they will always try to give you the phone cheaper if you are spending a considerable amount per bill per month. I think they get the usage data for the last three months and they average it to give you a discount on the RRP of the phone. |

OK, here's some pictures. Is there a way to get rid of the big URL down the side? I purchased the software.

Is it possible for someone to send me the install files for the RSS reader? The application just doesn't seem to be on the phone, and if I click on an RSS logo, I get a message saying 'Folder not found' and then Opera crashes. |

can you disable the orange homescreen (those icons on the left handside of the first screen you posted) ? and are you able to change the theme of the phone? it certainly looks very...orange

YUK! I don't understand why Orange persist on putting those ugly icons on their devices - they look like they were drawn by a five year old on MS Paint. |

I've not been able to disable the Homescreen yet, no. It doesn't appear as a task in the list. I *can* change the theme, although the one I like, Porcelain, makes the font unusable with the stupid Homescreen. |

Wonder why they removed the rss feeder? Branding looks terrible IMO.

Take a look at IM+ (http://www.shapeservices.com/en/products/details.php?product=im&platform=se-uiq3). Working nicely for me. |
