I had a voda phone from a store and from online and they both do the white screen with the editing contact opening the flip. I left it and after a few open and closing of the flip it goes into the contact as if the white screen never happened. Im waiting for the sw update from voda as im happy with the hw just the sw is buggy.

I remember about 1.5 years ago a friend bought a second hand lVoda P910, there was a Voda logo glued to the phone and you could see the Voda logo on the screen when you turn the phone on. Because we had the both same phones we met one day and did a software update. Mine was updated flawlessly, but his phone didnt get updated by SEUS. He was pissed and he went to a local second hand phone shop where he had his phone flashed with new software. HE told me it took him 5 minutes to have phone flashed, the Voda software was gone and now his phone was working as a sim free phone and we were able to upgrade the phone easily afterwards. I could ask him how he did this but now he lives in Cyprus and we lost contact since last year.
I think as someone mentioned earlier companies like Voda, O2, Orange, etc etc is controlling this situation on their best advantages. That's why it is always best to buy sim free phones.

I am sure it's because of the Voda branding.That's u can't upgrade.Reflashing is a sollution but the problem is that if ur phone breaks they won't repair it under warranty.So I guess it's ur choice.

Mine is a voda version... and no problems whatsoever connecting to the internet with wi-fi. I'd put it down to incompatible routers/wifi points or... no offense intended, user error.
I think so to. I had a few initial problems, so I just read the threads here about WLAN settings and managed to resolve it. I'm very happy with mine

You can upgrade but that does not get read of the start up popcorn as that is written into the rom Z file

Mobile phone companies like Voda are like dogs. They gotta pee on the hydrant (P990, etc.) to leave their mark. Just like in real life. Some days you are the dog, some days you are the hydrant.

Dogstar if you goto those local phone shops they will flash your phone so good no traces of Vodaphone, O2 etc will remain. However as mentioned your guarantee will be void.
Another friend who lived in UK was visiting us abroad for holidays. He was using a Vodaphone P910i phone, while playing a game on the phone the phone crashed so badly, he had to take the battery out. When he put back on the battery, the phone did not start anymore. So we tried to fix it with SEUS, (until recently SEUS had a REPAIR option which you could fix, but SE removed it later on somehow) because the REPAIR option was cancelled by SE we could not manage to update the phone. So we called SE Istanbul and they said that this phone is Vodaphone branded and they can not help us.
There was two options for us. 1) Wait for him to go back to UK 2) or have the phone flashed at a local second hand phone shop.
So we went to the phone shop, we told the guy at the counter that P910 no longer worked, he told us it would be no problems but since they didn't have any Orange Software, they would update the phone with latest Sim Free version and if we did the update that my friend would loose his Orange guarantee blah blah blah... so we agreed and he uploaded the software and P910 started working as a sim free phone. There was no Voda logo or nothing remaining on the phone....
