yeah i have it on o2,not branded too much, a few things missing,rss reader . its not sim locked. from what i have been reading its a better option than orange,they have done their usual and wrecked the phone with their crap!
i will be sending fine off though to be totally unbranded as soon as i find some good feedback about se unlock uk
there is one thing i am having a prob with though,i cant seem to get a connection when using any msn messenger services any tips? or is it an o2 thing?

tranaee,
I hope seunlock will help you with the volume, because if the sound patch is not released, I'll have to send my phone off to them.
don't forget to post your comments when you get the phone back !!!

dont hold your breath on a sound patch update from se . its a big health and safety thing nowadays.
to be honest i dont really have an issue with the walkman volume, i work in a very loud enviroment where earplugs are compulsary i can hear my music fine as long as i use my se stereo bluetooth earphones.
its just the ring and message volume i have problems with especially as the vibrate isn't all that!

@ tranaee
have you got your phone back yet?
i got a question for everyone. you all know how we are having these problems with the volume right. now my w950i is '3' branded. i had the same problem with my k610i which was also '3' branded. now the other day i was curious to see if the k800i had the same volume problem. i tried it and it had no problems with the volume what so ever, however this was voda branded.
My point is. why has the k800i got normal volume when it came out after the k610i but before the w950i. is this volume problem got something to do with '3' branding?

Hi Everyone.
Just thaught I'd drop a line to tell you I got my carphone warehouse supposedly "unbranded" firmware updated to the latest firmware today by the seunlock-uk guys..
I can heavily recommend these people - I met their technical manager in person in Edinburgh today and they updated my phone whilst I waited in around half an hour.
The phone was returned to my updated and tested with detailed instructions on putting back texting/internet setttings etc.
In short : VERY trustworthy people with GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE and SUPPORT! I heavily recommend their services.. and will be to my friends/colleagues etc..
This new firmware is much better - it doesn't reboot when I look at video properties...
I can now enable the speakerphone BEFORE a call is made!!!
I can now fast forward/jump into the middle or any part of a music video - and it now works instead of locking up..
etc. etc.
So I heavily recommend everyone updates their firmware if their current version is causing them problems..
The good thing about using their service is that my CDA code has now changed to a much more common one that might get more updates from SEUS!
Regards
Steven McDonald.

Normal flash cards such as the Memory Stick, SD, CF, etc all have a limited number of read/write cycles. While the number is pretty high, I've had one Memory Stick and one SD card fail over the past three years. As the owner of a new W950i with built-in, non replaceable flash RAM, should I worry that if the RAM fails - I'm left with a useless phone that cannot take external memory cards ? After all, the phone is a music player and I tend to update the songs a lot

OK, here is my rant!
I have gone from the K800 to the W950 and have had SE's for over 15 years now.... now I can see just how good the Sony Ericsson OS really is, very tight and works flawlessly, I have to say their implementation of UIQ is good, but you notice things they miss out by not having their own OS.
Here is what is bothering me!
- Web Browser doesn’t sabe settings, i.e. if you select it to fit to page and full page, when you close and re-open it defaults back, very annoying.
- I have set the phone lock with passcode so I have to type in a pin before the phone can be used, however when an alarm goes off in the morning I have to type in the pin before I can turn off or snooze the alarm! (plus the snooze is now 5 mins and not 9 as others
)
- Also with the phone pin on I can’t use the play/pause button on the side of the phone without unlocking the phone first!
- When the phone is on silent there is no alarm sound (from reading this sees to happen to all UIQ phones p9xx etc)
- It really is a 2 handed phone, for instance when you go into text messages, to move to say sent items you need to tap the screen, there is no keyboard option, it would be nice for say the 1 and 3 keys to work as sideways arrows…. I miss my joystick!
- And finally there is no standby screen with clock and missed calls/texts indicator etc, something I really miss that was on the last 3 or 4 phones.

MrPlant: you mean that even the SIM free version of the W950i from carphone warehouse is branded ??? that sucks. What was the branding like ? Was it like certain apps and shortcuts were removed ? Was any functionality missing ?
