    Can anyone recommend where I can download a non branded firmware for a SE k850i?
    The vodafone menu is driving me crazy!, especially after using the same phone with SE's factory default firmware.

    And is there any pros/cons I should consider before flashing the phone?

    Can't think of any cons of removing network branding from a phone :)

    If the phone is still under warranty, it won't be afterwards. Having said that I've yet to find a maufacturer who won't honour the warranty because changes to the SW like this...

    Thanks for the info guys and thanks Columba for the link.
    Outta curiousity, where did you find the firmware? Google wasn't much help to me when I went searching for it.

    lol it didn't quite go to plan :o Can't find anything that can flash the k850i.

    I've emailed Sony Ericsson hoping that they could point me in the right direction, not expecting much from them though :P

    Thanks for the help anyway Columba :)
