Well if vodafone brand the outside meaning not black and come up with their own colours like the F500, disable mp3s and ring tones, restrict anything else or make their own icons and stuff I dont think it would be so good. Of course the phone will still be a good phone I think it would be better if it was left the way Sony Ericsson made it.

Hi City Soldier, If Vodafone were stupid enough to do that, then there is always Parallelimported.co.nz for imported phones. |

Pity they don't give the same 1 year warranty all genuine SE products give though

http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=93794&start=15 In this thread it sounds like vodafone is only making silver versions. The silver is alright though. So Vodafone menu, removed games and im sure I read somewhere that they disable mp3 ring tones.
Either way Im still getting mine from China anyway. All im thinking about is how much it will cost and how much will the price drop in say a month or so. Also the firmware. Can anyone confirm updating firmware with the USB cable.
Anyone here actually with an imported k750? |

voda don't disable mp3 ringtones, but restrict it to ones you buy from them.

Exactly what gelfen said. There's also plenty of ways to get around it on esato if you look. 
@city: you'd be better asking in one of the K750i threads if its possible to update via the usb cable. They'll know there hopefully.

In someways though I'd love a branded W800i, red instead of orange around it would be funky.
Errr... Doubt it. Sounds like the Alcatel 511 I had a few years ago.
I want ORANGE! Check out the Blue W800 thread.

Hehe if we coudl get colours then I'd go the SE colours..
Greys like the k700i with green
(infact a green backlight on the K700i would be nifty too)

http://home.ripway.com/2004-4/92826/w800g.jpg Heres a green one someone made on the Cnet asia forums. Looks pretty sweet to me.
Edit: oopse just looked in that thread with the blue one and someone already posted a green w800. Blue looks damn nice too. Orange is actually pretty good but I like the black k750 better.

yeah, the thread where people coloured them had some very nifty ones. The union Jack one was plenty inventive |
