when people say they have just unbrand a v800 , does that mean all vodafone stuff in the phone goes? and in its place are the SE icons ? Are the icons like the k700 /s700 ?
the reason i ask this question, is that i haven't seen anyone post a pic of a unbranded v800 on the post.. not that i'm not trusting you guys out there...
but surely , the software to unbrand a branded fone must come from a geneic v800.. which to my knowledge isn't availble... am i wrong?

for S700i and K700i, the debrand / unbrand icon look like that..
see here
http://www.kingmobilephone.com/sony-ericsson-unlock-london.htm
however, for the V800, I attached the picture which I debranded it a week ago.. however, a long story to tell before u decide to debrand it or not..
See here for the debranded V800
I think at the moment, all the V800 or V802SE in the WORLD are branded with vodafone, so all the flash files we got supposed are all branded with vodafone...!! (supposed there is no way we can debrand it)
However, a very clever guy, I think it might be Mr Lazer (the author of SEtools). He modified a debranded Z800 flash file which made it compatible to V800 or V802
The photo I attached is actaully a modified & debranded R1X Z800 file in a V800 phone!
+ve is the icons are debrand & (a 4x digit zoom - not 100% sure about this info)
-ve is since the firmware file inside the phone is Z800 which this phone is not available in UK yet, my customer told me he can only browse the wap, but he can't download the ringtones with an error message "This phone is not in our supported list".
I flashed the phone back to R1J - EU9, the phone came back with all vodafone icons.. but the wap, ringtones download are all okay now..
The reason for all is because the Z800 phone is not in the vodafone supported list at the moment.. but I think this problem will be resolved after Z800 launched in UK or an official V800 debranded file came out.
Therefore, until now, there is still no a perfect solution for debrand / unbrand the customised icons on V800

@kingmobilephone
When you say +6.5 megs more, you mean that the phone memmory will have about 10megs free? I don't think that's possible. Pls let me know if I'm wrong
