This phone is very nice, too bad the cam has no AF, it would be perfect if it did.

I thought the W715 was a Vodafone special, so how come you managed to get it unbranded and presumably SIM unlocked?

Pretty nice, I like the metal front and the ruber plastic on the back and on the keys. Feels solid.

So if im lucky it will be both branded and non branded? If so then im going to snatch one now. If not oh well the red one is fine enough.
