So the hype is over for V800, it's still a great phone, but now when everyone have feeled it, does it still being the nr1 to buy next year?

Thnk god that we can unlock it for others operators =) so we can atleast make cheap calls and wap at good price. now we gotta wait for some housing from the unbranded ones and a new firmware.

Here in Austria there wasn't a hype for the V800 at all. 70% of all sold V800 were sent back because of massive errors and bugs. I don't think the V800 with the Vodafone Software is a good phone at all.

What kind of errors were found? Anyone have an ideas? My Vodafone V800 seems fine to me just a few very minor bugs but nothing else that I've found.

over here it was one of the best sellers in Vodafones UMTS line up.

And although there were a few with problems (like dropping calls) most I believe were kept and I myself am still very very pleased with the phone.

I gotta ask though, why bother buying a phone if you're gonna flash it/debrand it/slap a new housing on?

Wouldn't it be easier to simply wait for the next model and wait till your operator start doing 3G? Coz so far it's Vodafone, 3 and Orange (in some countries) only, right?

Yeah pretty much. If you like any phone so much go on the network its for, else get a different phone

Oh and your themes are amazing, they were one of the first items I put onto my brand new V800!! Thank you so much!

@Vlammetje

great themes, cant wait to try them out.

BTW about the network thing, i am planning to use the voda sim for 3g services but i will try and get a dual sim adaptor for use with either/or my o2 and orange sims.

Well, in case of 3 Sweden´s Z1010 it was a bargain, £75!
Sold all i could get my hands on except one that my girlfriend use (with Telia SE 2G SIM)
My Moto V3 is imported by Vodafone so in that case i didn´t have much of a choice, i will have it unlocked ASAP though if for no other reason than pure principal.
Bottom line: If you want a certain phone and want it NOW, this is what you´ll have to do..

@ vlammetje Telfort (netherlands) is gonna put up 3G in combination with EDGE in the summer of 2005 to. Maybe the V800 wil be available without simlock by then. This message was posted from a T630
