Hi all,
Thought I'd start the inevitable topic regarding how Orange have branded the K750i.
Is it like the K700i branding?
With slightly Orangy menu icons, and the 3 shortcuts on the desktop? |

Well, if it is anything like what Orange normally do it will look awful and only have about 70% of the functionality of a sim free model. Orange are slowly catching up with Vodafone when it comes to the ability of screwing up good handsets.
O2 are the best - they do very little which is the best way.

Anyone got their Orange K750i yet? I'll be getting mine tomorrow, was hoping someone would have one already and post a list of Orange firmware mods so I wouldn't be too upset tomorrow. I'll post sometime on Thursday if no-one else has. |

ive got it as as far as i know (i havent see a normal k750 to compair) the only difference i can see is that they've changed all the menu icons. Everything seems the same. O yeah and there are a few pre-defined items that you cant delete and some horrible themes
One thing you can now is to edit the shortcuts, finally! |

Excellent, I can live with the modified icons. So no annoying main desktop shortcuts that break the rest of the phone features like they did on the K700 then? |

@chriskerrison. I think the configurable shortcuts on the K750 will turn out to be as useful and wont stop things like the popup SMS alert from appearing, so we should get the best of both worlds.
I almost ordered mine on-line but thought I'd check the phone line to see if they actually had stock. I was told they can turn the phone around a bit quicker if you ordered over the phone, effectively next day. |

The o2 pics posted above are taken with a camera.
Because the platform sends bogus messages while charging, that is why!!!..But why this change of heart?..We sense a charger connected, oops, we will not shut down after all!!!..*********************** UI BASIC, HOLD YOUR HORSES

Received my K750i from Orange online yesterday (200 min and 1000 texts) and have to say that I'm loving it very much ALTHOUGH looking at the above o2 menus Orange really have simplified it too much. The Orange menu reminds me of the t610 menu, very basic, no animation, very 2d looking. Hopefully someone will offer debranding via the USB sooon...
Oh and where did the included HP printing application come from - didn't know anything about this! |
