Not sure if im right but i think i seen a Havana SonyEricsson W880i and the menus Vodafone put in it were like gold and black not the usual rubbish red white and grey poorly drawn icons we all come to know and HATE. Someone tell me if its true and does this phone have that menu too. If so it would look better. Dont like the screen resolution though.


I believe thats the theme "Musaic" which seems to be coming on Vodafone Walkman handsets. My W910i has it, and I think the W880i has it too. The V640i doesn't have it, but it does have other themes which use differing menu styles.

Musaic theme will most likely work on the V640i with no problems though.

@M-O
No major problems getting phones serviced up here. It'll hopefully be back in a week.

I was thinking this morning that all my phones have needed servicing except for the new V800 I have.
K700i - dropping calls/no signal, fixed with firmware update under warranty.
My first V800 - broken housing at hinge & WSOD, fixed under warranty.
V630i - broken R/H softkey button (snapped in half!), fixed under warranty.

You can see why I don't want to void my warranty by debranding
One of my workmates said I should change to Nokia! Not likely

Oh yeah the Musaic theme will work, but you won't get the Flash menu which is what he wanted the theme for. The menus aren't built into the theme you know.

Quite a few of my SE phones have needed repair too:

My a3618s (Ericsson) needed a new battery clasp thing.
My Z600i deleted all my games and went for a firmware update.
My K700i went back with a faulty joystick.
Two out of my three V600is were replaced because they turned off and stayed off.

So I don't mess with mine either! I'm extremely careful with my phones too, I've had my W910i for about two months and not a single mark on it yet! (touch wood)

I have some but as you can see, the flash interfered with them so they're not in the review. I'll take some better pics to put in the review just wanted to get it up as its taken quite some time to write (I type slow).





Is that Ripples theme uses flash menu interface? Can someone upload it here? I have k630 and I was wondering if this one works on mine.. Thanks alot..

Carkitter, you can send the embedded themes from your phone to your computer using Bluetooth.
