Me to, I think it's a great device, I'm just thoroughly pissed off with Vodafone not releasing the updates for it.

Then clearly you have not had a Vodafone Nokia Phone before. The Vodafone N95 updates was months behind the Nokia ones and for some bizare reason Vodafone deem it necessary to remove useful functions like video stabilisation:confused:

I would never ever buy a Vodafone branded phone again.

Hi guys I am vodafone too... I mean I'm normal but... ;)

Did you get some new option in internet connections after re-flashed?
Because after 1st time I saw gprs and contract WAP second time as I see gprs only. Originally contract WAP only. Maybe here is a catch? they cheating with internet and 3gp. Because all seems to be working fine. Can be some cheat like they are giving us some rubbish internet under the hood.

Flashing is no big deal either. Have done mine a few times, the first time is a bit hairy but only becuase it felt like a big deal. Only takes 30mins and that includes re-install of all apps.

However don't expect much from PR1.1.1 I struggle to think of any improvment it made that affeccted me. Maybe browser speed was a little better :)

im also on vodafone but ive flashed to the global firmware, and would recomend it to everyone, its well worth learning how to reflash your n900 out of choice rather than leaving it till you have to when something goes wrong.

If you got it from them then it will have their firmware. There might be a Vodafone live icon too :eek:
