I am looking for some advice!

Just aquired a w810i after having a w800i for some time, I hate the layout and menu screen of the w810i and was wondering if any of you boffins out there know if it is possible and where I get the flash from?

Cheers,

BigNick

backing up boba here - its not possible as different hardware inside the phone, and also the w810i has flash menus and stuff....so its kinda better - for example the w800i has joystick, w810i has d-pad

Now this confused me. The default w810 walkman theme has an identical menu with the w800. you only get the different menus with the other three themes, but for every other theme out there you'll use with the w810, it'll be identical (unless youre talking about missing the orange&white w800 overlay on the internet services and calls icons on the desktop - for that you might want to contact gregface). funny too cos davinciteam and the others makes $$$s debranding operator-specific w810s and w900s

Nah, I really don't think that it's possible either. You've got the obvious stuff up when it comes to the Walkman and Activity button, then there's the active lens cover and then all of the harware, EDGE etc. Sorry, but I think you'll just have to live with the W810's 'flaws'.

Didn't you check the phone before you bought it? You now after the fact want to downgrade your phone to a lessor model?
