    Nah, it's nothing too intrusive. Just some light customisation i.e. a red menu system, embedded Live! & Favourites icons, etc. There's a Vodafone Live! emblem on the back cover & the words Vodafone Live! imprinted in red on the bottom of the front cover.
    was the hissing the reason it failed in Ireland?
    It was only one of the reasons. There were some Live! problems & the Communications suite wouldn't install unless you had Microsoft Outlook on your PC.

    The latest model has been delivered & is currently under test. The new model eliminates the hiss by lowering the resistance to the speaker, more voltage, better clarity... or so I'm told. Anyways, it works :)

    there's a good post (by someone called magwe) in this thread about all the Voda modifictions - compared to a natural T610 it sound's pretty heavily branded (other posts have had people out with nail polish remover trying to get the physical logos off!!) - 5 direct ways to connect to Vodafone Live! seems excessive...

    i thought maybe the hiss had, unknown to the operators, entered into some of the production runs - absolutely the flaw shouldn't have been there in the first place - but if it was in the test units they had that reflects badly on them passing it as fit with a pretty major flaw

    maybe this is the reason SE have delayed/held back releasing the UK SIM free unit?

    the T68i wouldn't let you install the comms suite if Outlook wasn't install etiher - as it needed Outlook installed on the PC to work (for the contacts/calendar sync and sms integration)

    cool :)

    would be turned off by the operator changes to the handset the guy on esato outlined in his post, sounds OTT

    thanks for the info,

    That's understandable. Personally, if I had paid through the nose for a phone, I wouldn't be too fond of having those operator logo's on it. They really do take away from the sleek silver look of the phone.

    Yeah :) I'm not sure if the shortcuts can be re-directed to other functions, I'll have a look when I get the chance.

    Exactly. You would think that the units they send out for approval are of the highest quality. Obviously not in this case!

    Interesting, I wasn't aware of that, thanks!

    Nope Jesus, sorry ;)
