The V800 is a very exciting phone! Pity there's Voda exclusivity, as it would go down a treat unbranded!
Tri-band with UTMS is a travellers dream so that you can take pics with the 1.3Mpx Camera, which you can store on your 1Gb Duo pro, which you can then d/l to your laptop via USB, or upload via UTMS speeds over the web to your online photo album! Also, good thing to see the MS slot is hidden nice and neatly in the case. The Swivel cam is excellent too, just like my Sony Clie!!
Excellent. Forget the S700.
My K700 is TOAST!! |

i don't know why you're panicking man. This phone is the same as every other phone released/ provides that are prone to heavt branding (vodafone t mobile orange) will do the same on this phone. Others might not. Simple as that.
Vodafone wins no matter what, as they've had their own sw doen already.
What bothers me is that it looks a bit as if there will be no theme creator for the public either for a while  which is a shame I would have liked to try a few.
Apart from that...... i'm fairly sure there will be an unbranded version once voda's exclusive contract is up..... won't be next week but will be next year without a doubt.
Just chill

Oh .. btw..
Why is the V800 called so, and not the Z800 like all other SE clamshells?
If the V denotes Vodafone, then why was the Voda exclusive F500 not called the V500?
Perhaps the non-branded phone will be called the Z800 - which sounds so much sexier

either way V800 or Z800 sounds like a monster car... u know V8 engine or the BMW Z8.. all is gd.... maybe the unbranded ones will be like V810 added radio, juz like S700 to S710 but in the oposite way.. |

They wouldn't have, would they? Only Vodafone stores would have any current info. It's in fact even possible Voda gets to call the date on when the exclusivity is to be ended......... obviously no other provider or shop would know that prior to Voda's own release.

no man voda is not the one controlling.... voda is the one begging to SE to make V800 available only to them.... as long voda pays gd money to SE voda is in the game.... howeva.. SE cant juz let one of their babies be in voda's hands... I bet voda only has 2months contract wth SE and BOOM unbranded here I come.... coz SE knows unbranded has more potential of increasing sales... |
