I haven't seen someone do this before, but I think the phone's hardware is mainly compatible and can be flashed to K630 (which has generic firmware). Here is that phone:

compare it to your one and if it is the same you can flash it (check the network frequentions and etc too)...

I debranded my V640i to K630i Cent Europe firmware. Works fine. If you need pics of the interface, feel free to visit this thread on our German community:

It is my review.

No. It is the A200 platform that has Call/End even on free firmware.
