Firstly, you know when you're on the web when the globe icon flashes. When its shown but greyed out, it signifies the phone is trying to negotiate a connection and it will ask you to choose the account at this point.
When its connected to an account and is live, tap on he globe and it brings up the "connection manager". At this point you can click each of the accounts above the horizontal line (below is logged accounts) and the statistics of each connection should pop up.

@ SL33PYH34D
You have mentioned about the EU p990i have a different code, limiting or unlimiting it to firmware updates. Does that mean some of the ones expansys sells could not be updated with the latest firmware?
And what is the website for the firmware updates?
I would appreciate it if u can reply to this, Thanx!!
Well based on reports here and elsewhere some countries (including Belgium) seem to have a different CDA meaning they are currently not able to update to the latest firmware as quick as other CDAs. Normally though it is just a case of SE taking a little while to push the update out to all the different CDAs - a process that normally takes a few days.
Now I can't comment for current models supplied by Expansys but mine and everyone else who got their phones a few weeks back have had the same "Generic World" CDA.
As a general rule it is only network branded variants which long term have issues with SEUS updates, and with just about any generic SIM free variant (EU, UK or whatever) you should have no trouble. So I think it would be safe to say you'd be ok with one from Expansys.

OK guys I got mine early this afternoon after parceline managed to loose our stores delivery for a few days (doh!) First impression is very very nice
Only one thing I've found that I dislike - not being able to connect to a hidden ssid via WIFI. Everything else is fine, I've connected to my router which has MAC filtering and also is secured by WPA-PSK
Also as others have said, we've got to figure out how to debrand as I want the latest firmware!!!
Edit: With a hidden SSID the P990 does connect. With my home router its fine. My girlfriends its not for some reason! Strange

Well interestingly, while sorting out my bookmarks (SE ones are locked from moving too unfortunately) i noticed that Voda's settings are all stored in the
Z:\Private folder.
A proper file manager program should do the trick.

So do you think it would be possible to flash a generic rom by hacking the voda rom?

I really wouldn't be the one to know. Just as the early days with the p800, you had to get a decent 3rd party file manager to access the real nitty gritty of the phone and this specifically was what i was referring to.
As to cracking the current firmware, well i don't recall that even happening for the p8/900 phones so doubt it will ever occur, though i'd be glad to be proven wrong. I think the chances are very slim.
With regards to the firmware for networks, i cant see this being a problem in all honesty. Any update released by SE will be filtered to the networks who will then add their bloatware and repackage it solely for their customers. The main point being that the latest updates as provided by SE will be implemented, albeit a few days after generic release.
Saying that, i can't see Voda making any further changes to the firmware than already provided.
