How will the branding on the V800 be. (Umm, I think they are getting a V800)...

I'm not entirely sure if there V800 will have branding or not as i have'nt seen any of there 3G phones yet..we will just have to wait and see...But what i will say is its highly likely that there will be no exterior branding on the phone housing as it is with the Vodaphone branded v800...Will post the details as soon as i am able to get them.

Im more woried about the interior. That live button in the way. Just doesnt fit in at all...
It is a beautifull phone. Why cant they leave it untouched...
Wait, this is about o2 and 3g, not about the v800  Ummm, well atleast im glad 3G is spreading a bit more and becoming alot more common. The sooner you guys establish it, the sooner the Americans learn it is profitable and take advantage of it and people...
Here they are trying to sell phones advertising "Bluetooth" as some amazing thing...Its really sad.. Anyone other Americans that can bid with me on saying this? |

In addition to the O2 X4, O2 will offer 3G customers a range of handsets from leading manufacturers, including the Nokia 6630, Samsung Z107, Motorola V975 and the Sony Ericcson V800. This will be expanded going forward through existing handset procurement channels and the NTT DoCoMo Inc., partnership. |

A bit of a guess, but possibly the SE V800 is incompatible with the o2 network (similar to the K700), hence they have not released it? |
