I've heard to use nail polish remover. There was a thread a while back, give it a search

Do a backup and search for the 13 second trick. Not sure if it works on the t610. Someone on here will know for sure though

Mike Mayer: I also got the T610 Vodafone edition. There must be a way to remove the locked software, perhaps if we could upgrade the firmware with the one from the standard T610s ??

the icons used on their theme sucks.. every icon has the same colors and they only matches to their background pictures :/

They have also removed the theme custom color menys so that you cant change anytning.

geo2k: How do you make an backup of your phone ?.. christersson's software dont support the T610.. perhaps there is other tools out there ?

Aaarrgghh!!..

Thats bad, Vodafone is slow on updating firmware and that means we have to wait a long time for software upgrades :/

Hope there will be a hack soon.

Whoops, seems I asked this question again before finding this thread...

So, it's true, you can't change the firmware to standard SE...
But you have to, I do think you must be able to, at least when SE releases an update...

Anyone who knows for sure?
