The Orange branding is so annoying - especially the removal of the shortcuts facility, that I'm sending my k700 back and getting another through Vodaphgone, who don't do these things - shamne, Orange beat Voda into a cocked hat for customer service - would have preferred to stay with them but...

you know what, i got a k700 with the orange branding malarkey on it and i simply couldnt contain my sheer contempt for the network. i have changed to o2 because they will give me the phone for free rather than the £50 i payed for it at CPW on orange. so there orange.

you have lost yet another customer who WILL NOT be coming back. ever.

or do what i did and goto Phones4U and get the Sim Free version but take out the Voda contract

, i took my Orange K700i back and he was like eh whats wrong with it, so i told him and he was like its ment to be like that (he just didnt get what i was on about) so after a 15 min talk about how its ment to be diff he said ok how about a Vodafone one or a o2 one, i said o2 has crap reception near me and i don't want the Voda one as mp3s don't work. but then i just asked him if i he could do a sim free version but on Voda he said no, so i just pestered him for 5 min saying that at the CPW they can do it Sim Free on any network Bar Orange and T-mobile, he checked and was amazed that i could have it

, bargin got it Sim Free on Voda for Free

.
sorry about the rant but just thought i would let the people who don't want the Orange one that they can get a Sim Free version on Voda

my advice when buying a phone is to get it from CPW. all the phones are sim free even though u buy it from a particular network

not at my 4 local stores (yeah 4 :/) all the Orange and T-mobile and most Vodas come pre-packed in the Networks box with there logos on them, its only o2 that seem to be kinda sim free.
Orange just won't let it happen, they want there customers using there butchered versions of the phone :@
