Default Remove Vodafone Customisations

Has anyone else tried this?

I wanted to remove the Vodafone customisations from my 750v so I tried the following: a hard reset (reset with power button on > 'yes' to delete all data); as soon as the power and screen comes back immediately remove the battery to interrupt the setup process.

The result? No VF splashscreen and 60MB (was around 48MB previously) of storage memory in addition to the program memory. The 750v seems faster. However, a manual setup of the data connection is required as is a registry edit to change the 121 voicemail button to my providers voicemail number.

I'm sure there are other changes too. I've still to test this properly over the next few days including a trip to a 3G area.

Excuse me if this has been covered elsewhere - I've looked but not seen anything similar.

It is funny, I have just recently heard people mentioning Vodaphone customizations like the splash screen. However, the only customization that I have on my 750v is the Vodaphone Business.tsk.

The only customization on my Treo 750v is the Email Setup link and the horrible gray theme. I have never seen such a lightly customized phone from a carrier, let along Vodafone. Even Vodafone device I have seen or owned has been branded to the point of instability.

If it wasn't for the Vodafone logo on the phone, you could swear you bought an unbranded device.

Same here guys,

After installing the latest Vodafone UK WM6 ROM, the only customisation I have is the Business theme, other than that, I couldn't find anything else to do with Vodafone which I found odd but believe me I'm not complaining.

Cheers.

Default German Vodafone - is it the same ?

Is the above mentioned for UK/ireland VOdafone branded Treo, or German as well ? i.e. will the ROM and update to WM 6 work if it is EN version?
thx
