Is there anyone has bought/upgraded their SE W800i thought Vodafone?
I called to Vodafone Telesales today. They said they only have SIM-FREE SE W800i, are they telling the truth?
I had a very bad experience about upgrading K750i last time directly with Vodafone two months ago.

masseur got one from Voda but took it back. He said it was sim free but the GPRS settings were locked.

Hi Cozy, GPRS is locked? do you have an option to store a Profile 2?
Vodafone always got a better plan than outside if I upgrade with them.
I really don't like branded phone.
do you have any suggestion where I should go for a n upgrade?
Thanks. |

yeah, mine was unbranded except that there were 5 data accounts that couldn't be changed or deleted and 4 wap accounts that couldn't be chagne or deleted.
I could add my own data accounts though.
Also the internet icon takes you to vodafone live
thats all I found. I also tried to use an MP3 that I created as a ringtone and it DID work fine without DRM packaging unlike the K750 and K700 that vodafone sell

Thanks for your reply, masseur.
It sounds that is very annoying. Usually I will disable the Vodafone Live(or WAP service by editing the PROFILE).
I found that you can easily accidently click the wrong button and end up paying a massive bill. |

That's not too bad, Phantomlynx.
So on what Vodafone will start charging you on Vodafone Live?
Browsing is free - but not downloading right? |

On SonyEricsson webpage, they said "Enhance with accessories
A quality headset is included in the phone kit. To enhance your sound experience even further, connect your W800i to your stereo with the Music Cable MMC-60. Keep listening but never miss a call. Your music automatically stops when a call comes in."
However, my W800i with vodafone hasn't come with a Music Cable MMC-60.
Does it happen to you too? |

Thanks for your reply.
It sounds like it was free.
Overall i like the phone, and hope it's really SIM-FREE by Vodafone. I haven't tired other network sim card yet.
