He's not bad - but the real thing looks a lot better :)

I heartily agree - mine is sitting proudly in its MS chair on my desk, ready to be shown off tomorrow :)

I heartily agree - mine is sitting proudly in its MS chair on my desk, unlocked and ready to be shown off tomorrow ;)

Darn...

Back when I travelled from Denmark to UK to attend, we didn

[Guest Pondrew]

I feel your pain Jakob. Another MoDaCo meet I miss... :)

[Guest MARKUKCOUK]

I'll say what many people are probably thinking and maybe not saying...

I am absolutely gutted to the stomach that I didn't go. Congrats to the guys that went though.

Out of respect for Orange and their very generous gift, I think it would be appropriate to not discuss unlocking the device in these threads.

PM me if u have any issues with this / questions...

But removing the orange startup logo with a hacked rom ( direct link in the other thread ;-) is OK with orange is it?.....wow, that's good of them. And I suppose they are cool with discussion of hacked rom's along with microsoft are they?.... because obviously you've checked else the thread would've been pulled or a mod would have commented on how naughty it was ;)

Richard ( not bitter about not going at all.... )

p.s what do they honestly think a bunch of windows phone forum members are going to do with the phones? leave them as they are :)

( especially as there is no reasonable data plan from orange...yet.)

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

No, i'll be removing that too for the same reason (had to pop out briefly this morning).

[Guest Will]

Charged it up, played about, and added the subtlest of additional branding :)

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

And if anyone wants a background image like so (and used in Will's screenshot above), customised with their member name, just reply here! :)

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

Like the 'MoDaCo' operator name rebranding Will!

[Guest Will]

Hmm, a real device to tweak, (while keeping a duplicate next to it to repair with!) - anyone think of more stuff to tweak the 'Special' with.. (i'm thinking more whiteness!!)

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

Custom homepage?

P

[Guest Will]

yep, coming, (been a while since i delved into xml, and hey the added more plugins!)

Thinking of an orangy softkey with white text.

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

I meant IE homepage.

The right soft key going to MoDaCo would be cool.

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

The saddest thing is that i'll use this device, but then another one will come out I want (SPV M3100) for example, and I won't be able to have it in white MoDaCo Edition :)

[Guest Confucious]

Now there's an idea for next year's Modaco meet :)

Mine has had pride of place on my desk (or generally just being shown off to everyone and anyone) all day... unfortunately my work Orange sim won't allow GPRS access - typical!

its luvvellyyyy.. smooth and tactile and fits well in my pocket .... and thats just the C600!!!) .... far be it for me to be rude!!!! :-)

[Guest chucky.egg]

Slightly OT, but given the new tariffs and all... are there any plans to invite other network operators to these meets in future?

Not that I want a bright pink and grey T-Mobile phone, but I can't see myself going back to Orange any time soon.

Just a thought

Shame RJHTML still isn't WM5 compatible. Could have alot of fun with that :)

Difficult when its held at Oranges' offices! Certainly something to consider in the future though...

Also i'd just like to further push that, free handsets aside, Orange went all-out for this event. Even without the freebies it was the *best* event ever, great demos, great crowd, and great handsets on display. Orange have outdone themselves preparing this for us and then topped it off with the gift at the end! Thanks Orange!

[Guest Confucious]

Just like to echo what Mono said.

Orange did a great job.

Many thanks.
