got my P990i today, local vodafone shop rang me up and told me that they had one available so i rang straight round lol (only work round the corner)
Voda - £35 p/m - 1000 texts - 500 mins - phone was free.
From what i have used of the phone it looks awesome. Dead chuffed.

I wonder if there is any way to get rid of the vodafone startup/shutdown screen?
If the startup is there.. chances are the handsets are locked also?
Can anyone confirm? |

That is not the latest firmware - it is the firmware release before the current R3B01 (organiser version) release.
Worth trying to get SEUS working to see it will update to the current version. |

@SEP990i
congrats on the P990!
Try the following to get the SEUS to work:
1. Download a fresh copy of SEUS
2. Uninstall th old one
3. Make sure you've applied all the service packs and updates for XP etc
4. Make sure Java and Macromedia flash are updated
5. re-boot PC
6. Switch off firewall & anti-virus
7. Re-install SEUS
Join the 'dots' and see what happens |

CDA is the customization tag. Looks like CDA123456789/1 etc
Try looking in the service menu by doing this:
1) jog dial up
2) *
3) jog dial down
4) jog dial down
5) *
6) jog dial down
7) *

I believe it may be the same as before with previous P-series phones for network labeling where you can only upgrade the firmware to the latest as released by the networks themselves. The phone will not update to the generic non-labelled firmware unless bought off-network.
