    I have a Sony k550im and have been happily getting my emails for free on it for about 3 years. However today I got a message saying o2 are stopping imode on the August 3. Can I get rid of the imode on my phone? AFAIK it uses a different type of Java which means normal Java apps won't run on my phone. So after o2 close it it will have no benefit to me...where can I get rid? Thanks

    you can generally get your phone flashed so that you have the non-imode software on the phone.

    It's about time you treated yourself to a new 3G capable phone rather than try and keep the k550im if you want a proper internet experience.

    It's nearing the end of it's life better change before it lets you down and keep it as a spare, mobile interent has moved on a lot since imode.

    I don't actually need or use mobile internet. I just liked getting a free copy of my emails sent to me. iMode was **** but iMail was the ****.

    sorry should have said data, most phone plans now include internet so you could still get your emails (and a lot more) for the same amount you spend now.

    most phones now can have email set up on them without the need for imode, your's probably can. Have a look here http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/phones/detailed/phonesetupemail/k550i?cc=gb&lc=en

    I doubt I can get my emails sent to my phone for free though. Thanks for the help anyway.

    The good thing with imode was that their imail service was true push email,same as blackberry.
