Stupid Sony Ericsson C902 shut down screen!

I've just had a SE C902 delivered and its been modified with a load of James Bond stuff for the upcoming film, themes wallpapers etc. Most of them you have the choice to use or not, but every time I turn the phone off theres a shut down sequence showing JB and I just want rid of it! Does anyone know how I can turn this off so that when I turn my phone off it just does that and doesn't go through this stupid shut down screen???

I'll Hazzard a guess and say no. You're stuck with it. This phone is on contract isn't it?..what with getting all those exclusive walls/crappy themes.
Even if you lost the bond shutdown screen you probably know you'd still get a crappy shutdown from whichever mobile company you signed up too. (Vodafone & Virgin both annoy me
)
Possible solutions? Can you not send it back, say you didn't realise it came modified like this?
Take it to one of those unlocking shops, see if they can help.
Seek more help at specialist SE forums such as eseth.net You'll find themes/walls over there too...far better than the crap SE stick on their phones

you can turn the startup one off, but not the shutdown one unless you break into the filesystem and delete it from there. any firmware/filesystem modifications will invalidate the warranty though.
and also, i dont think there is any free software to break into the db3150 phones filesystem yet0 -
Can you go on the Sony Ericson website and ask them ? I found them very helpful when I had some trouble with mine.0

Find a SE Authorised Repairer and ask them to flash your phone with the generic SE firmware for your phone, rather than the service providers custom one. They may charge a fee for doing so.0
