yeah I saw that thread too and this pic. I vaguely recall it being on a german web site.

Its a real shame they feel they have to do this and I am sure we will go through all the same questions about how to remove branding that we went through with the T610, and probably all the answers will be just the same!

I have a Vodafone branded T610 but I knew it before I bought it...
As long as they don't mess with hardware of the phone (like missing BT or someting) I don't mind.

In the Netherlands we have Imode and a new phone has been released by them, the Nec N341i (like Nec N8). But the provider (KPN) disabled the InfraRed so users must send their pics via Imail (Imode email) or MMS to their computer. So Vodafone doesn't do it so bad if you resemble it with KPN.

makes me wonder once again why anybody would want Imode


anyway...... Voda branding isn't as terrible, you're right, but it still leaves a lot to be desired! Voda Live is just a tad TOOOOO MUCH VODA imho..... T Mobile branding is not nearly as bad.

I guess it'll have all the horrible Voda live menu system too?

I'm sooo glad Orange don't do that

Speaking of Orange......they do tend to put their logo on all phones and it varies as to how difficult they are to remove.....by logos im reffering to the small ones on the case.

The only reason I mention this is due to the fact that my t68i is official orange....you know orange branded box etc......but it does not have a small orange logo on the bottom of the front of the phone case but I know that my mates phone does!?

I just find it a bit odd that orange are starting to only place their logo on certain phones?!?

Yeah - my original T68 didn't have the Orange logo on it, but when I had to get a new one as the old one conked it that didhave a logo. My T610 does too.

Orange do do it now. sadly.

On the orange t610, there are a load of downright bizarre pictures of a red rat/boz/thing chasing pieces of cheese. which are a b*stard to get rid of.

well, as long as i want a phone bad enough, u shouldn`t mind. When i bought my t610 i thought about branding but i wanted one so much as i didin`t give a shit about stickers on it! Fortunately mine is unbranded
