> Branded Z600- worth replacing?
Bookmark topic
Hey there. I ordered a simfree Z600 online and got it this morning. I was shocked to find that even though the mobile is actually sim free, it has o2 branding on the menus, startup logo, screensaver and theme. As you probably know, a lot of this cannot be deleted. Even though I'm actually with o2, its very annoying. So I emailed the company who I got it off and they said to send it back and they'd dispatch a new unbranded one and reimburse me for any postage costs. Do you think its definately worth sending back or should I just keep it? (theres also 1 dead pixel on the right hand corner of the screen, but I'm being picky now). Also, which day would it be best to send it back on, seeing as its new year and all that this week? I'm in the UK if anyones interested. Thanks in advance.

Why not just change the o2 theme, wallpaper + screensaver? You can customise the wap profile homepage so you never need to use the o2 active menu option, I don't.
How noticeable is the dead pixel?
Use a good courier - not the RM or Parcelfarce.

They said they'll only refund me the postage if I use Royal Mail Special Delivery to send it back. Its insured anyway, so I'm not too bothered. About the dead pixel - its actually one of those damn pixels that just wont change colour. Using my current theme its hard to notice, but once you know where it is you'll keep seeing it.
First take a look at:

Can you see it? Next take a look at:

I've circled the pixel. Bloody thing.
The o2 branding wouldn't be so bad if you could delete the preinstalled screensaver that takes up over 200kb. I'll probably send it back either Friday or next Monday.
