The thing with this warranty nonsense though is that it doesn't void your warranty with Nokia directly!
I had this with my N96 - Voda nattered on about how I shouldn't unrband as I couldn't send it to them for repair. They bang on about their Nokia trained repairers, but hey, Nokia have those too!
With previous phones, like my trusty *COUGH* n73, I always sent to Nokia directly. I think you should flash, ignore vodafone and if you have issues, use the Nokia 2 year warranty!
Vodafone do great contracts but are awful with branding!!

if i were you i would return the phone under vodafones 7 days returns policy, and get one online or from Carphone Warehouse as their phones are all unlocked.
yeah a reflash might work but thats a hassle and risk IMO.
Vodafone are an excellent provider but their customer services and branding is a real problem, i remember seeing a N95 branded Vodafone, they removed the radio access and wanted you to sign up to their paid internett radio servies.. tut tut...

I made a point of *not* getting my N900 from Vodafone for this very reason. Went to NFS Regent St and they did me an upgrade to my existing contract for the same minutes/SMS/data allowance, £5 less per month and the N900 was free!
As consumers, we need to be demonstrating to the carriers that all this branding nonsense is simply not acceptable - probably the one thing we owe a debt of gratitude to Apple for with the way they did the iPhone with O2 is the fact that they refused to allow branding.
Nothing that a reflash can't put right, but the whole point of the N900 and Maemo is that we shouldn't have to go to such lengths simply to get the functionality that Nokia intended.

you dont need to change product code to debrand like we have to on s60.
its as simple as downloading the image and flasher.
but like someone said vodaMone might not be happy and void warranty
