Hi there,

I'm looking at getting a W850i to replace my good old W800i and the best deal appears to be on o2 in the UK.

Does anyone know if o2 do over the top branding or have disabled any of the features/themes of this phone in any way?

Also, is the walkman quality any better/worse than the W800i (i.e background noise or annoying crackle at the start of each track)

I'd rather know before spending my hard earned.

Cheers

Cubik

They do not do over the top branding. This is what I got:

a W850i with no simlock, flash themes disabled(took 6 minutes to debrand to enable them again), and a sticker in black with a silver O2 on it which matches the case very well. The V2 walkman player is way better than the W800i.

Hi there, thanks for the replies

You mentioned that flash themes were disabled. Does this mean you don't have animated menus?

Also, what did you need to do to re-enable them

Cheers

To enable the flash themes you have to debrand via wotanserver (http://www.wotanserver.com)

I have upgraded my W810i For the W850i I like the phone but it keeps droping calls well I loose the sound of the call even though the call is still connected does this between 1.30 and 10 mins. I am so fed up I have waited ages for this phone to come out. I have had two now both the same. anyone else had this problem?
