Hi
I have bought a new unbranded GSM SE w810i from CPW. I did have one of these a few months back but had it stolen.
I remember that on my original phone I had a flash theme that made the phone vibrate when you moved within the menu.
On my new phone this theme seems to be missing...the themes I have are called Emerge, Equaliser, Orbit and Walkman and none of them are flash themes.
Can anyone advise if SE have now stopped including this theme on the phone and is it possible to download this theme (cannot remember the name) from elsewhere.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated as I really wanted to use this theme.

all 3 you've mentioned should do the same (vibrate that is), what it sounds
like to me is that your handset isn't unbranded after all !!!
Operator branding generally takes the swf files off so all you get is the
standard SE 3x4 main menu.

is definatly not a branded handset.

I know this is not exactly the reply about your model, but I just wanted to let you know that the Walkman theme on my unbranded W850i does not have the menu vibration feature. However, three other preloaded themes do.
So the lack of vibration in this theme on your phone might be normal.

Have been on the phone to CPW who tried 2 new w810i's and neither of these had flash themes working.
Called SE technical support and no word of a lie but they almost reduced me to tears. I went through what must have been the most frustrating experience ever. I was told that the w810i does not nor has ever suported flash themes. I expalined that I had had them on my old w810i and then was told they where network dependant. I advised her that the handset was GSM but the girl could just not grasp what I was saying and just kept saying that the phone did not support flash themes over and over.
Had another call from SE who advised that the phone does DEFINATLY NOT support flash themes and that I was mistaken. I tried to give them links to sites to show that THEIR product did support flash themes but they were not interested....I had to hang up in the end as I was really getting stressed.
By googling for a lenghty period it would appear that the latest firmware for the w810i is bugged in respect that it has disabled the part of the menu that supports the flash themes.
Luckily, all Orange PAYG handsets (came with Orange sim but handset is totally GSM) through CPW are on a 14 day money back policy so will return it tomorrow.

Not being funny but do people actually read the threads before they post on here??
Where did I say I had got the phone from Orange. The phone is a GSM unit from Carphone Warehouse and is supplied with an Orange sim.
The themes are still on the phone but they are not the flash versions as the latest SE firmware is missing the necessary flash menu application.
I have now found out that this is a known 'bug' on the new firmware.
