Better to find any other network and pay higher than get a cheaper one with Vodaphone I say.
It's a very simple process to unlock & debrand though

To the OP: Box Contents. It depends really which network you buy it from! My dad's one on orange came with everything, and a USB cable, Bluetooth headset, and a flash attachment.

But it'll have the ugly Vodophone symbal on the case! I'd rather not have to advertise a bad phone company personally.

I'd always buy a case to protect my phone regardless of any "design fault".

I knew i forgot something

You get a USB cable for putting stuff on your memory card and it is also for updating the software*.

*Very fiddly procedure.

Planetnokia ( says it all) there is nothing wrong with the lens cover. If you lay your phone down, like you hould, it doesnt spin. I would rather have ma phone spin round than ruin the lens and get crappy photo quality...im sure the rest of the folk feel the same

P.S K750i is damn near unbreakable. I have dropped it 3ft onto a road, down the stairs, thrown it at walls (Don't ask) and my dad sort of threw it at the ground when he was drunk The paint is a little scabby at the bottom but apart from that it is as good as ever.

My only pet hate is how easily dust gets under the screen...and O2 say you cant take the front cover off. It is stuck down

That's good, I dropped mine a few times, now i just wear it chav style round the neck, in a shirt pocket, so it can't fall out.

Don't ever use the USB cable though, because it doesn't transfer properly, I use bluetooth.

Can of air is good for cleaning the joystick periodically, and haven't got anything under the screen - yet.

Chris: I feel skanked now. Mine's on Orange, and came with the BT headset, USB cable, mains charger, and no flash attachment. I feel like moaning...

I always use the USB cable to transfer MP4/MPEG4 to my phone without ever having any problems at all. However, could you recommend a good Bluetooth dongle?

My phone came without the flash attachment, too (o2).

Must be a different firmware then - >*<<*<* then service info > software info. I'm on R1N035, as my phone is 10 months old and i've never flashed it I suppose that's not the latest.

Any bluetooth dongle should do it, they're all the same, mine's on a CSR chipset, works ok.

Orange k750 came without the flash attachment. As far as i know they never sold it with one, unless it was a deal from the shop the phone was purchased from?!?

Also I use the USB cable to transfer everything without problems. But I do not use the S/E software, I just drag and drop and job done...Or use the memory card reader to transfer things.

My software version is: R1CA021.

Will look on ebay for a cheap Bluetooth dongle then.

Nothing you say will change my mind....it spins on a hard surface

Overall I didn't like this phone, however, I'm happy to admit that the build quality is excellent and it does take superb photos.

Edit: There is a site on the net that shows you (bags of HQ photos) how to take the K750i apart and convert it to a W700 (body and software).

Your local backstreet mobile phone shop should be able to do it for a tenner or there may be sites on the net that can sort it for nothing or a minimal charge.
