Just back from a wee shopping spree in town and i went into a vodafone store to give the v800 a spin and i must say its a very stylish phone, the piano key black is lovely and its alot slimmer than i expected, but once again, its a great phone ruined by operator customizations

I've always been an advocate against branding but the way I think about the vodafone branding on the V800 is that if I do keep this I will only use it on vodafone 3G anyway and since there is quite a bit of free content (especially until end of feb) the vodafone live button is actually quite handy and there really is not alot of other stuff and what there is on the housing seems fairly tasteful for a change
that said, there is quite a bit of "buy now" in the live stuff too

My bet : SE is gonna release an unbranded version of the V800 in both claimshell and barstick versions very soon (
My second bet : within 6 months, we'll know how to crack the SE branding on the V800 and put an unbranded OS on the phone.

thats a very true point about only using it one voda 3g plus all the free content is very good and the external branding looks very nice for a change as you say,
but i just really didn't like the look of the GUI on the phone it didn't suit the style of the phone, some of it was nice but all in all i'd prefer SE's original GUI, other than that i love the phone, lol

Im sure you could buy a V800, and then flash the phone with Z1010 or S700i firmware..
I tried the V800 yesterday, and while i liked the GUI, the Vodaphone icons ruined the whole package for me. Also, i hated all the LIVE links where normally there would be none or SE home links, and the Vodaphone badge under the main screen.
Im still going to wait until Cebit next year to see which phone im going to buy next (P1000, unbranded V800 etc), unless i can get a cheap deal on an unbranded megapixel SE phone.

SMS alerts appear to be limited to the classic preset options I'm afraid.
