I also want this phone but I have already ordered Samsung SGH-D500 which I think looks good and could be a good replacer to my S700 which unfortunately is to big for my taste. The problem is that I want V800 very much now and could easilly buy one with Vodafone.
So what do you guys think about it? Stick with Samsung SGH-D500 or buy a Sony Ericsson V800?
Thanks in advance

Personally i would never buy a Samsung again, and definetly not stick to it
On the other hand, i havent gotten used to the V800īs look yet, but maybe it will grow on me like the T610 once did..
A Ericsson Lund employed friend of mine also didnīt like his V800 at first, but now actually likes it more than the Z1010.

[start rant on DRM policies]
Digital Rights manager (I think) it's all about adding 'rights' to media files (possibly also themes
) which means in the long term
and / or vodafone might implement on each device that only media files with proper identification (DRM signature which allows the user to use the file) will be played/accepted/displayed by the phone.
Of course those DRM protected files don't come for free (this has got to be why Vodafone is such a big pusher of the development) but need to be purchased. Vodafone Live!!!
Meanwhile, making themes myself, some of them hand drawn or based on my own holiday snaps, I feel very very very sceptical about this development. I'd hate to have to add digital right to my own created stuff just so my phone will accept it, because apparently the ppl who manufactured my phone or sold it to me think that I and everybody else are likely to use illegal content if they don't stop us.
I can only wonder where this will lead... but I'm not terribly optimistic right now.

Lynn, I am definitely planning to do themes but unfortunately no orders yet please.
Problem is, the animated parts of the theme, as seen from the video earlier in this thread that rog posted...... appear to be part of the firmware rather than the theme.
I've got the theme sitting on my home PC, thanks to jamin who was kind enough to share it, however it is NOT the same as previous
themes.
I can definitely create a working .thm file. I even suspect which parts of the 'flying dots' animation can be manipulated colourwise..... but from what I see so far there will always be 'flying dots' in some way or other. Their colour can be altered but so far that is all I know and without a few more themes to break down I can't really do much.
I'm going to try and create a theme later on this week...... hopefully jamin or slass or any other person with a V800 factory unit will be willing to test it. One of the things we need to know is if a wallpaper in a theme will cover the flying dots animation there (I suspect it will
) and if the dots in the highlight are permanent or not.
Also the actual build ot the theme (the .xml file) is different from previous
themes and it will take some attention to replicate it properly. I'll keep ya posted...... if I get one working version out and we know what it does I guess I might do more soon
One thing I can tell you is that the images used in the theme are the exact same as the images in Z1010 themes. So we know the dimensions...... now it would be interesting to know if the phone is capable of converting Z1010 themes
In any case I'll have a go at it because i'm soooo intrigued
For info on more v800 theming news keep an eye on
this thread on Mobile 9 where I will hopefully be posting my progress
