What else has Vlive robbed us from? N95i/v

[Bundy2005]

Vlive and other mobile phone opperators around the world have robbed us from so many features and here is one of them http://n95blog.com/nokia-n95-un-locked-vs-operator-modified/

Nokio wont allow them to remove programmes anymore, VOIP is ok but nothing useful will be removed.

The feature isn't even on my Vodafone branded phone?

Have you got a Nokia N95 Vodafone handset? DRM sucks

Nope!

DRM? Meaning? DRM was removed in the V800 days.

Hmmm V800-2005, or earlier so buy a nokia N95 and still be stuck wth the lame old issues you had in 2005. The networks want us to buy there phones on contracts sell us all these feautures then give us a disclaimer sorry 90% of the features on your phone wont work because......

 

[Bundy2005]

Then still charge us the exact same price for walking around advertiseing for Vodafone, Seems fair

Theres no differences!!! Vodafone removed an application thats all, you can get that app back if you want.

You clearly haven't used the phone nor its features no differance you may want to have a look at the security certificate management 4 security files embeded you cannot turn them off then there is the device mgr for updates the server information has been removed so no updates for you, there is a huge difference.

No fan of the Vodafone branding, but as far as the VOIP goes - Fring works just fine. www.fring.com

Branding does not make me jump with joy but consider this:

If you get a Nokia in the UK (on Vodafone) it will not only be branded Vodafone it will also be Network Locked! In fact all networks in the UK with the exception of O2 (Cellnet as was) network lock their handsets. This contravenes an EU directive, but its only a directive OK! They must unlock them for free at the customers request... They do this free well apart from the £40 (+-R560) administration fee!

How to stop branding:

Walk into your cellular providor and say:

"I want a ******* and it must not be network branded" and if they say no, say OK I want a contract for a SIM only and I'll buy my own fully un-branded handset because your ones are poo!

OK so you'll have to pay up front for your handset instead of buying over two years at double the price but at least you can tell the network what to do with their branded handset!

Ye the certificate crap, I was supposed to try and fix that but I forgot!
Why do you need to edit or delete certificates?

Ye the theme thing, it depends on the sis file some work most dont... I download themes on my E61i the saved it on the mem card then popped the card in the N95 and they all worked.

 

[Bundy2005]

Sounds like a shlep

 

[Bundy2005]

how did you install them, as far as i know they will need to be installed in order to be applied

Im not sure, but on the unbranded phones it installs, so as long as you have an unbranded Nokio that uses a micro SD like the E61i then it saves it on the card and when you pop the card in the N95 and go to themes they there and they work/apply...
