Hi everyone.... just before christmas i have seen something that if i can get confirmation will be quite a big news story on esato forums... The SE V800 may not be released on ANY other networks apart from Voda... which could mean no unbranded versions made available!

I am gonna have to wait till tuesday wen i am back in work to confirm this but rest assured u guys will be the first to know so keep an eye out on the forum for info...

Peace out and av a good boxin day peeps!

no doubt somewhere there is an unbranded version. Sony ericsson would have probably made generic firmware and then given it to Voda to destroy.

Because the platform sends bogus messages while charging, that is why!!!..But why this change of heart?..We sense a charger connected, oops, we will not shut down after all!!!..*********************** UI BASIC, HOLD YOUR HORSES

are probably already working on the next model anyway, so it's not really that big a shocker

As far as I'm awear the V800 is Vodafone only althrough it is uncomfirmed. I know most of our 3G handsets are Vodafone exclusives, I'll look around on the my stores intranet tomorrow to find out more, then I'll give you the full story

The V800 can already be partially debranded - removing voda preinstalled items and locks.

i have seen an unbranded V800 myself with no voda logos on it any where. Maybe this was a prototype but there will be unbranded V800 soon. even if i have to do every single one myself.

Including the outer casing? I mean obviously the back is easy to replace but the front with the external display must be relatively hard lol

@sainty

yes no voda logos what so ever, i saw this a while ago now and there are also lots of pics on the internet.

just did a quick search here

maybe it made before SE found a buyer for an exclusive deal?

Those are not prototypes they are Swiss V800's in that I mean due that Vodafone does not have a big market share in the company supplying them they could not plaster there logo all over the phone.

You'll love it I can tell you that

At the price I got mine and the tariff I'm on, I was amazed - the benifits of working for Vodafone are unbelivable!!!

I have so much on my phone I've filled the 32mb memory card that comes with the phone! And the included datacable is great!

I have 48 games (all of which I still have the install files), a few porn videos, "Eric Prydz - Call On Me" video and also the mp3 which is my ringing tone! Along with a lot of sound effects which I can also have as my ringing tone, including police sirens (this is fun as a joke), gun shots etc etc

I really love my V800!!!!!

The staff tariff? lmao. biggest joke in vodafone that one... no free minutes... no free anything.... just slightly lower rates on calls and texts... and u still have to wait for 10mths to b up before upgrading! and then they have the cheek to charge u £50 for the fone!!!!

and.... browsing outside of the Live! menues is charged... a bit of a big joke the tariff to b honest.
