Hi all.

I got my K800i replaced today. I did have a K800i which had Vodafone (UK) branding on it. E2Save replaced it as it died. But instead of sending me a replacement phone with vodafone branding they sent me a simfree K800i, which is even better.

BUT!!!

It is a french version!

The manual included is all in french, all the defualt files on the phone have french names, when you power on the phone and it asks you for which language you want is says:

According to Sim
English
French

Also the auto-update from the phone is missing.

I have checked the phone using WotanServer and get the following info:

---------------------------------------------

WotanClient 0.9.909
RUNNING UPDATE
FTP: connecting to server
FTP: DONE
UPDATE FINISHED
Connect your phone, pressing "C"
waiting...
phone found.
phone found at position 2
DB2020 detected
LOADER: OK
060201 1425 NPA4_CXC1329130_DB2020_SEMC_CERTLOADER_R3A
FC ID: 89 7E
EROM: RED CID49
OTP: RED CID49
OTP: IMEI **************
GDFS: K800i
GDFS: CDA102511/54
internal DB number is 2020

Now you can choose Main and Filesystem files,
and alter other settings

----------------------------------------------

Could I flash it to UK generic with the lastest firmware which WotanServer have?

Also does anyine have the UK names for the following files which are on the phone?

Don't you think that the file names SHOULD remain in English whatever language you choose? I have my local Indonesian language and all pre-installed default files REMAIN in English..say, e.g. Nightshot theme WON'T be displayed as 'Bidikan Malam' as it would be in my local language. Hm, why all file names are translated into French in your case?

I think that the file names remain in english for every language file except french : remember that even Michael Jackson for the french is Michelle Jacson.
Every word ,name etc they turn it into the french version of it!
