no, its not possible to debrand using SEUS
almost certainly the firmware will be branded, with startup and shutdown screen and preset data accounts if they stick to their usual P series changes
you might also want to check if it is locked as the couple of vodafone P910 I had briefly were locked and voda fone may do the same with the P990

Can see that being especially nasty on the P990i - I would imagine they have locked the Voda GPRS settings as the top priority for the internet account group stopping you from setting wlan as the first priority. |

I have some really good news for those located in Athens, Greece. I have checked again with the main providers such as Vodafone GR, TIM GR, Cosmote GR, including also several shops and is the first time that they ALL give the same release to be the date of 18th-19th of September. You can check ie www.vodafone.gr and www.plaisio.gr as well as www.germanos.gr
It was about time, cause my old P900 that I have for three years is starting to give up and shuts down.

Any news yet on UK networks release (heard 12-13th...)? I've got 2-3 upgrades due, and want to get a TyTN, p990 and Motorola K1 KRZR.
I'll decide between the TyTN and p990i myself, and keep the KRZR until i get bored of it.
The networks i'm waiting for are 02, T-mobile and Voda 
P.S: quick question (a bit off topic), whats the name of the o2 model of the TyTN? Must be XDA something??? Thanks

I just received a message from the Sony Ericsson Call Center in the Netherlands, stating that "while the first series P990 were shipped with the BST-34 battery, changes in the production plans have led to subsequent batches being shipped with the BST-33 only. This will not change in the future."
Can anyone call their local SE representative and try to get this comfirmed?

TyTn - already out on VF and T-Mob, I have one on T-Mob.
P990 - VF out today, they have 2 weeks exclusivity I believe. O2, end of Sept and T-Mob are not doing the P990 AFAIK.
KRZR - VF 27th September, O2 Sept (unpsecified date), no newsd on T-Mob
TyTn on O2 is called Trion and O2 UK have not so far offically confirmed that they'll make it available although O2 Germany have it.
I've played with the KRZR and I love it, will definitely acquire one as a weekend phone. |

For those guys looking to get one on Voda - the one I saw this afternoon in my local Vodafone store was unbranded (both software wise and externally) - and confirmed by the sales rep - for at least the first few weeks all the handsets will be generic and unbrandedand not Live!'d up.
Would assume the situation with Voda direct is probably the same at the moment, so I say fill yer boots before they get the nasty crippled branded stock in. |
