Any reason why ?

BTW I've been with Voda for 11 years and I'm completely happy with them.

I love them as a provider, but i don't like what they do to their branded
phones.

Well... most SPs are guilty of that, however Voda's branding/crippling IMO
is particularly loathsome.

Having also recently seen and used an O2 butchered Nokia 6600, and the
complete mess T-mobile made of a SE t630. I will always avoid branded
phones... period.

BTW I use a Voda supplied Nokia 6310i(not branded), and a SE t630
which is again unbranded.

That's surprising. I guess u went to CPW or something.

O2 are usually the least worst for branding IMO, and Voda the absolute
worst.

My S700 on O2 from the CPW is totally unbranded and unlocked :-)

same here. when i ordered mine over the phone to CPW. They told me that the
phone was the same, it was just a different sim that they put in it. Is this
true or utter crap?

It's true. Although some networks, particularly orange, force CPW to use
their crippled phones.

I got it used from a mate who upgraded to a Nokia 3650. Think he got it
from Phones4U.
