That's what it looks like on the eBay page, so with any luck it'll look completely sweet on my K700i when I get it :D

I'll post pics the second I fit it all.

btw, am I the ONLY person on this thread who's actually debranded their k700i and changed the cover? I'm the only one spending money around here am i! :laugh:

edit: I think I was the first one who actually went out and forced Vodafone to give me a firmware update to... lol, I seem to be completely obsessed with my phone, I guess i'm in the right job hehe

I havnt had my phone long enough to debrand and get a new cover. however i dont feel the o2 branding is hindering me in anyway, the firmware is as up to date as i need, and i think the phone looks good enough as it is without having to change the cover.

Yeah unfortunately the orange icons and integration really miffed me, so it had to go :)

As for the cover changing, I like the default one, but I crave to be a bit different to every other person with a k700i out there hehe :)

Call me an attention ######, I don't mind :p

I'm thinking of getting this phone on a contract soon (probably as soon as my step dad gets some time off work, co inciding with a day off school) but I have one question for you guys:

Could one of you take a pic with the phone of anything and post it here so I can see what it's like?

Cheers. :D

I've been with O2 ever since it started in the UK great network, great deals. But Orange had an offer too good to refuse.

Hey all. I just got my K700i on O2, and am REALLY pleased with it. No branding issues, in fact I would say the sligh O2 branding is quite classy.

My major complaint is the crappy plastic buttons, they have already scrateched after 2 days of use (and no I don't leave it in my pocket with keys or such). That said, replacing them won't be too hard.

So, I am on firmware version R2L001, is this up-to-date or should it be upgraded? I only ask as the battery life isn't amazing.

Also, does anyone here have any experience with using Jabber.nu on this phone?

njlouch - the latest firmware is R2AA - R2L is good firmware, so I wouldn't recommend upgrading unless you 100% have to :)

I have R2AA on my k700i and it really hasn't made a whole lot of difference in terms of battery life, but I keep mine in its cradle all day, so that keeps it fully charged always.

The scratches I have no problem with either - I carry mine in my pocket when I'm out of the house and so far i've not noticed any scratches on either the screen or any of the buttons - perhaps you're a bit too hard on yours! :)

In fairness, I have received my phone on Saturday, and as it is new I have been playing with it lots, and it only now needs a recharge. So will stick with a nice stable firmware.

However, seriously - I am very gentle on my phones, after a year my 3650 still looks pristine (I clean with alcohol once a month, etc). The plastic buttons let this phone down, they should be metal - Imagine blue backlit metal on this phone - mmmmm.

Do you think any screen protectors are worthwhile?

I've had mine 3 months now and I've not noticed a single scratch anywhere on the phone, but seeing as you've done your buttons in less than 3 days, maybe a screen protector would be a good idea for you mate :D

and ooh... blue backlit metal buttons... now you're making me salivate! :D

    • The memory and nvme can be swapped and upgraded with standard parts. But the GPU cannot, which is the weakest part of the box. It's a dead product at these prices.
    • Sounds like the debloated build you are running is missing some components that the Photos app and Snipping Tool rely on.
    • Apparently, Microsoft doesn't use water in their taps, washrooms or clean their facility. /sarc
    • Wow, throwback.  VERY VERY briefly - but realised that it wasn't the language I needed for the tasks I was taking on.
    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.
