govigov; No, you wont be able to do like with K700/Z1010 and others, cause there simply is no firmware without Vodafone icons.
O2; Yes there are some phones with no Vodafone logos, but I've seen early prototypes whitout the stickers, but always with Vodafone firmware.
And also, I don't think that IF SE release a Z1020, Z800 or whatever, it wont look exactly like V800. Think about F500/K500.
I have to check the Video part, haven't tried to record long clips. |

Fancy V800 you got there....Now some questions
Does the cover leave lots of finger prints. I dunno, the glossy plastic covers look like they would be covered.
Also how does the V800 fair as an MP3 player? Is it the same as the K700i/S700i (as far as Mp3 Goes)
Can you put your own pictures in the external display?
Thats all i can think of now...
Thanks in advance! |

aesthetically speaking...i'd be more worried about dust getting into the external speakers than leaving fingerprints on the cover  |

Sutitan; The black cover leave some fingerprints, the others is better.
MP3-player, I think of it as with the camera, it can't replace a separate device, digital camera or MP3-player. Some people will do it, for sure, you can leave the mp3:s in the background, they pause when you recieve a call and play when you hang on. Theres the equalizer, you can have external memorycards, there will quite sure be stereo headphones like with K700i. So yes, it may work very good as a mp3-player, if you can handle the size and battery time and don't want to pay/walk around with two separate devices.
You can put your own pictures and animations on the external display yes.
lynn; I haven't got anyproblem with dust in the speaker. In my K700i I get some dust on the camera lens, but that's not a problem on V800. |

I wouldn't want a V800 with a shit Vodafone software and icons. No thanks. Isn't there a possibility to get direct from Sony Ericsson without branding?
I mean exclusive for Vodafone means that it won't come for other mobile networks, but I think there will be a (expensive) unlocked version too.
Greetings, Alex

@slass

Some questions @slass & Jamin
1. Are the missing call/new messages on the external screen always appearing? I mean on most colour screen, the screen turns black and you have to press a key to see that you have a missing call.
2. How about the T9 sms writing? Is it faster? Do you still have to "exit" the keyboard to go to the joystick to chose another word when the phone suggests other possibilities or can you do it from the keyboard?
3. Is it possible to turn the flashing led under the external screen off?
4. Are there a lot of links to the Vodafone Live portal in the operating system (that's the case in most of their branded phone which is very annoying because you always go to VodafoneLive by mistake)
Thx for your answers. |

1. After a few seconds the srceen turns off and you have to hit a key to see if you have a missed call
2. The texting is faster but you do have to "exit" the keyboard to chose another word.
3. it's not possible to turn the flashing light off
4.there's a voda link on the stand be screen where the more button usualy is then one voda link on the main menu.
@O2
Think mine is the newest version of the V800 and has the launch firmware on it.
@lynn
