E65 on vodafone

    Hey all,
    does anyone know if Vodafone has the E65 fuctionalities restricted, e.g WiFi, VoIP and quadband access? Looking at the vodafone site, they say the phone doesn't have quad-band, and they make no reference to wifi. (phonesonline.ie show alot more functionality on the sim-free units). I seem to recall reading somewhere that some mobile operators were removing the VoIP functionality also.

    Is it possible to re-flash the vodafone E65 handset with a newer firmware, to get those services back on the handset? I do a bit of travel for work, so Wifi would be handy. The reason for the E65 choice, is the activesync for my calander.

    My sony K750i, has packed in and for the past week, I've been using the palm 750v and not a fan of it at all, battery life is pants, phone was on charge all day, made couple of short calls (prob 3G calls) seems to have almost killed the battery. Hardly ideal. Also noticed when the 3G signal dropped while on a call and on the move, the call drops with it.. not good.
    So as you can imagine I'm looking for a replacement handset before I have to travel again. Thank god I didn't have to buy that palm, phew !

    The n95 is bigger and bulkier. that's a major selling point alone for some people... or non selling point as the case may be. .

    what you have there rahenyguy is a faulty phone. I have an e65 and i have none of those problems. Believe it or not, getting one faulty handset does not mean that every handset ever made is also faulty

    thanks for the input... I'm not too pushed about the WiFi, and the additional bits, I was just curious to know of vodafone cut the guts out of the handset and gave you their version of what they want you to use.

    I did consider the N95, but it's a tad pricey for what you get, (even looked at getting one over in singapore), from what I can see vodafone don't show it on the site. the E65 was preferred more for the ability to activesync my calander.
