Hi

Can anyone recommend anyone based in the UK to debrand my K750i with crappy orange software?

Is £25 the cheapest around? Are there any bad internet companies that may trash my phone?

I would go to this chap here to do any jobs......

Not only do you deal with a person you can go back to a person to do the jobs you need...

Ok £20 but think of peace of mind you buy for that too... [addsig]

I know what I would rather do....

Person.... I am a greater fan in people than in websites you never get to shake anyones hand... looking in someone eye if far more interesting than reading in between the lines and BS. [addsig]

He does offer free repairs as long as you pay for any parts needed AFAIK.

As for debranding, if you live in a large city im sure theres many places that offer phone unlocking and complete flashing. For example, where i live, in my local bus station there is a mobile phone shop that offer complete phone flashing.

Last year they debranded by Vodafone P900 (brand new) for free, and then i sold the phone 5 days later and made £80 profit.

Crikey, if I'd known you could charge that much for doing it...

*runs off to build a website*

I bought the DaVinci cable so that I could unlock my W800, that's all you need to DIY it (heck, you can use the DCU-60 if you don't need to unlock it).

To debrand either K750 or W800 (ie. flash with a generic firmware): buy one credit (€10=£7) and use DCU-60. Total cost = £7.
To flash K750 to W800: buy one credit (€10=£7) and use DCU-60. Total cost = £7.
To unlock either phone: buy one credit (€10=£7) then buy their cable (€20 if you buy the credit first = £14). Total cost = £21.
To flash and unlock: buy two credits (€19=£13) then buy their cable (€20=£14). Total cost = £27.

If you're going to do many phones, the price of the cable is a one off, the cost of credits goes down when you buy in bulk.

The King of phones charges £20 and IMO its a fair price to ask for doing both services and I cant stress enough how people like me rather deal with a person not a e-mail...

In all counts peace of mind is priceless... [addsig]

I live in Bedfordshire so I would have to post the phone off anyway.

I will contact the king and see what they can do for me.
