i'm not really bothered about this, although if i could i would change my media player icon at menu to the walkman one on the w800 and other walkman phones etc. would be quite cool.

Vodafone's branding is the cause of the different and imho ugly icons on vodafone branded phones. A de-branding and installing of SonyEricsson's original firmware will restore the icons. In addition, it's possible to use the firmware from a W800 on the K750. The major differences between those two are the flight-mode (phone off while media player is on) and a far much more advanced media player with playlists, sorting and selecting by artist, category, etc. |

I think icons are packaged in to the firmware, so unless you modify the firmware they can’t be changed. I haven’t seen much firmware hacking for SE phones; however when you consider Siemens phones it is quite the opposite; Siemens community is hacking firmware like its written in VB  . There are hacks to do just about anything you can think of.. Wish SE had a community like that  |

marltang you are quite wrong. There are several ways to change it.
1. Davinci or a firmware flash service debranding - by debranding you lose the vodafone icons and get generic SE icons.
2. SETOOL or similar. This is commecial software that gives you access to the phones file system and the ability to change settings in the firmware without flashing the whole firmware file.
Neither are FREE, but both are possible.

you can replace existing icons with png files using the force to filesystem feature. There is a tutorial on gsmhosting http://www.gsmhosting.com/vbb/archive/index.php/t-195600.html
You can also flash a branded firmware over a non-branded (and hence change the icons).
So infact you can change icons from non-branded to branded versions, despite you claiming twice that "it's not possible".

Oh i dig this, Great stuff!
I so do enjoy this forum! It's where NOTHING's impossible, I'm sure you lot could even find a way to unlock an Intel processor!
Question:
If using W800 firmware is possible on K750,
Does W800 have "minimize" function while transferring file via bluetooth?
And:
Is it hardware stopping the bluetooth from faster tranferring speeds?
I've searched the esato search thingy, to no avail, apologies if this is a repeat topic 
Thanks

Try pressing "up" joystick while file is transferring. Up joystick is the activity menu command while in standby so it may not work while transferring. If not, you could also try pressing the music player button, then when media player comes up exit it and see if it goes back to standby screen instead of file transfer message. I'm not hopeful about that but it's worth a try.
RE: Bluetooth speed, the serial emulation on the K750 is the culprit (it also limits cable speeds). Bluetooth max. transfer speed is 721Kbps, bluetooth EDR (2.0) max speed is 2.1Mbps. Bluetooth speed on the serial emulation of K750 and other SE fastport phones is roughly .3Mbps.
USB cable speed is roughly 2.5-3Mbps.
