Hi,

If I buy the Samsung D830 on Vodafone from Phones4u (on the website or in the high street store), does the handset come with a load of Vodafone branding? Will it also be locked to Vodafone?

Does anyone know any other UK suppliers that stock the D830 on Contract or SimFree?

Cheers
 
I think most voda handsets are loaded with their branded firmware & pesky DRM, especially with SE.
If you can flash the firmware yourself then you may loose the voda stuff...
 
I bought a Samsung E900 on contract from Vodafone a few weeks ago.
I was very surprised to find out that the only Vodafone branding on the phone was a Vodafone splash screen when you switch it on.
Apart from that.. nothing, not even a Vodafone live! sticker on the phone or anywhere in the menu system.
Also, the phone is unlocked so that's handy.
