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?

Phoner Joined: Apr 17, 2002 Posts: > 500 PM |
It is possible to buy it non-branded in some countries, mainly in Northern Europe. |

how is the build quality ? |

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.

Red W715 ? W715 is currently only in silver and black. |
se_love Joined: Nov 12, 2008 Posts: > 500 PM |
No i mean if i can only get a branded black W715 from voda instead of unbranded then i would opt for a red W705. |

Wow what a beauty, was also suprised to see an unbranded W715, it realy does look a lot better than a W705.
