As I mentioned earlier in this thread, the o2 p990
retail release date is set at the 11th Septmeber. If you phone o2 customer services direct, they already have the p990 and it is available to new and upgrading customers!
Haven't seen any "I've got it from O2 Direct" type posts from users yet though.

Tell me something guys...
If the P990i is with Vodafone Live, is it possible to remove the Vodafone Live stuff etc? Can I do it on my own? Is there a software needed for this process?
Thanks...

You would have to de-brand it yourself or if you find a mobile phone shop that will do it BUT as far as i know, there is no software available that would allow you to de-brand the phone back to the generic SE firmware ie without vodafones rubbish on there. So you would be stuck with a vodafone branded p990i unless you went sim free.

Do you think that there will be some limitations to the P990i functions due to Vodafone Live installed menu etc?

Probably but not too sure, i know the voda branded M600i has some functionality removed and theres no way at the moment you can de-brand the phone sadly.
But going by vodaphone in the past, they do tend to butcher their phones pretty badly...which is why i stay away from branded phones like the plague.

Almost certainly if the butchering of the M600i was anything to go by - just one example is removing the task manager functions and replacing it with a task switcher with no ability to end tasks.
Voda also tend to do things like locking internet account settings, so it is possible you may find that they have locked their GPRS settings as the first priority internet account meaning you can't automatically use wifi in preference.
The browser homepage would almost certainly be locked to the Voda live! site too.
