Hi

I cant seem to be able to remove the walkman/vodafone sticker on the bottom of the keypad without damaging it

Any guide to remove it??

Thanks

If you cant take it of without damaging the phone,the best place for it is on the phone don`t you think?

@ayejatt, I noticed that on the Voda keypad in the picture you uploaded, the internet shortcut button and the activity menu buttons are actually the call and end keys. Does that mean that the Voda firmware actually takes away the internet shortcut and activity menu? Would debranding it restore them to the actual features? Just curious, thanks!

orange and voda usually brand their phones heavily. voda do take away the internet and shortcut button, debranding should get rid of the call/end button thing and restore them back to the internet/activity menu buttons

I see... Thanks for the info. Hmm... I personally have no use for an internet shortcut (unless I can get it to launch Opera Mini somehow ), but I definitely need the Activity Menu button.

the activity button is still there, the button above the original shortcut serves that purpose.

Oh, you mean the right soft-key acts as the Activity Menu button in the Voda-branded firmware?

I see, I see... Looks pretty good. Any complains or problems encountered while using your W880 so far? A friend of mine is thinking of getting it.
