i wouldn't have though SE would allow the networks to brand the w800 as its already heavily branded as a walkman and i'm sure SE will want to keep it that way??

From an article mentioned in another thread:

Quote:
Dorman said the importance of the Walkman brand has meant that Sony Ericsson won’t allow any operator co-branding on the W800, although he insisted that operators have all responded with ‘very positive feedback’.

It would make a very bad point to brand a "MP3 player" cellphone. Who in there right mind would buy it if it was crippled with Voda branding from the start...

Good news that they are leaving it alone...

If Vodafone branded the W800i then it would be the same as the Voda branded K750i anyway.
