Does anyone know if Vodafone and O2 of UK have some sort of partnership going on?

Wanqs, this one may be for you seeing that you are based in the UK.

I'm asking this because I was trying to send an MMS to a number out of the country but couldn't, I then requested MMS settings which Vodacom/Vodafone sent to me. What was strange was the inclusion of O2 MMS and internet settings.

Da Wanqsta's stranded in SA for the second day running with the friggin' volcanic ash stopping anything from leaving or entering British airspace. So much for being back in time for work on Monday...
Oh well,nothing I (and thousands others) can do.. I'll make the most with friends here in Jozi. Spent most of the day at Harley Davidson Johannesburg in Rivonia Road.

@ Dups:
Hmm, those 2 UK networks would make strange bedfellows... to my knowledge they've always had their separate settings etc, unless they've streamlined n' started sharing, but I honestly haven't heard about such move. I've got O2's settings on my phone (were pre-installed) and ASDA Mobile (my current network) uses Vodafone's roaming, and these are 2 different sets of settings for MMS, etc.

@ Tsepz:
LOL, I just walked up to the McDonalds for some graze and that's about it as regards venturing further than the H-D store, LOL. If I go there again later this week, I'll check out McGinty's..

Eish boet, it certainly looks like I'm stuck here for a while. I see the Royal Navy's going to be doing its bit to help take British nationals back to the UK...they might battle to reach me here in Gauteng though...unless of course they send a heli from one of the ships. Yeah, a heli called Wanqa 1 sounds a lot better than Air Force One, LOL.

Fellow 5800 users Rhino and JC
New firmware update V50.0.005 has been released after being leaked this past weekend, its available via FOTA, well it was for most including me,im using the Euro1 Red 0558982 product code, funny thing is you must go to the SW Update app, there you will see it say Phone Software Update (12mb). Did the update just 30mins ago via HSDPA, too like 10mins to do it all (download and update).
Quite a few things were added and updated:
The Music Player has been changed to the N97s V21 music player this means mini album art in all Artist, Albums, Playist etc...list views, it looks so much better.
Kinetic scrolling is now in the WHOLE UI including Menu and Web browser.
The Web browser has been updated to v7.2, im busy using it now. Pages are loaded A LOT faster,it now automaticaly goes to fullscreen, kinetic scrolling in web pages etc...overall the web browser is a lot more user friendly now.
Ovi Maps3.03 is now built-in which means you will get an extra 12mb or so of internal phone memory added.
Ive noticed a bit more RAM after a reboot,it WAS at 55mb and now i get 58mb.
Ovi Sync app has been added.
And Realplayer has been updated as well.
Fixes, im not sure what they are,im hoping the RDS issue which V40 brought in has been fixed,il check later,otherwise i havent had any issues since V31 fw. Overall the update seems to be worth it.
