Hi all,
Got the Samsung U600 today from Virgin Mobile. Looking though the manual it says the phone is "Yahoo! Ready". I should be able to do Yahoo searches and use Yahoo messenger all straight from the phone Menu.
However, I can't find any menu's for it on the phone.

The phone is locked to Virgin. Is this something Virgin specific or is the "Yahoo! Ready" service not supported in the UK?

Other than that is seems a pretty well featured phone. I upgraded from a Samsung D500 - that one feels like a brick compared to the U600!

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

I've just bought the U600 & was also wondering about this.
So I e-mailed Samsung and this was their response:

"In regards to your email about the Yahoo Ready! feature, when we manufacture the phones we send them out with the various features on the phones to the networks.

From here, the networks stipulate which features they do and don't want on the phone. The features they do want stay on the phone and the features they don't want they remove from the phone.

It sounds as if this is what has happened in this case.
Unfortunately if this is the case we have noway of overriding the network stipulated software."

What about getting it de-branded to a generic state? I've heard that removes manufacturers branding and restrictions.
