Exactly what will debranding my vodaphone S700i do

I have a SE S700i but I bought it before I realised that vodaphone had
"customised it"

Or as I would call it - Messed it up !!!! The Graphical display looks
terible compared to the demo phone they showed me in the shop.
And the stupid DRM feature so I cant use mp3's as a ringtone without
having to put it through the DRM software I had to download.

So I am now considering getting the phone debranded. To return the
Graphical display back to the origional.

But what I want to know, before I do this is what I am letting myself in
for?

Has anyone here had experience of having a phone debranded ?

And was it worth the effort ?

Did you loose any feature? like the config for Vodaphone WAP etc

Thanks

sorry i have never had to do this, but have you tried the master rest but
would guess that it would reset to the vodafone stuff but you might get lucky

I have the soft- and hardware to debrand/unlock/upgrade a lot of
different phones. I also did it with my v800 to make it a (unbranded)
z800...
But in your case, I'd bring the phone back to the shop and insist to get
an unbranded phone (that's what I also did with my k700i - they told my
in the shop the vodaphone version just has onther logo on the shell and
the longer warranty - when I found out that this isn't true they changed
it to an unbranded version without any problems)
