Hi guys, well i got my k700 today but the company neglected to tell me it had o2 firmware which has ALOT of stuff removed so i was wondering if i can get it flashed? or whether i should send it back as this was not mentioned (could be seen as being mis-selling). Please help i've been waiting ages for this phone and now fell let down  |

What stuff do you think is missing? I've got an 02 phone and as far as I can see, there's nothing missing, just a few extra 02 bits, start-up and shutdown screens etc.

Hmm, very strange. There are other reports on here about missing games. For the record, my 02 contract phone came with:
3 Games (Darts, RiverRiders, Super Real Tennis)
23 Sound files (10 mp3)
5 Themes (including the 02 one)
Logo in top left is piece of paper with SE logo. Text above says 02 Home.
Regards,
Lee

There is an area on the Sony Ericsson website that tells you where your nearest dealer is, but it's notoriously difficult to find. I'm sure another Esato member will have the link though........

Where did you buy your phone from?? Surely they must tell you if it will be a branded handset?? |

Well apparently you can't flash it at a normal store you have to go to a 'service centre' luckily there's one nearby me, by tomorrow evening we'll know for sure. |

hi
im thinking of getting a k700 on vodafone live and flashing it straight away...
Does this void the warrenty????
If so does it void it even for things that have nothing to do with the firmware (like the camera or the antena)??
