wm2003se or wm5?

I do not know of any app. to overide the country id of the device for upgrades - no one has previously bothered to write one I think - but I believe the official version of wm5 should have many language packs already installed, so if you buy and install the spanish wm5 upgrade it may have english. I will check my wm5 english to see if it has spanish.

You should be able to directly flash the ROM by modifying the English ROM and writing to an SD card. Just remove the first 2600 bytes of the nbf file and write it to an SD card using a program like All Image (Trial version will do). Then just put it in the SD slot of your hx4700 and put it in bootloader mode (Contacts + iTask + Reset) and you should be prompted to press power to flash. After it's done flashing do a soft reset and it should be ready to go. Of course I'm pretty sure doing this violates the EULA, but I don't see another way to change the language other than... buying a new one. (Remember... I'm recommending you to buy a new one rather than break the law... :))
