Doesn't get that good a rating though ..

Well done on doing your upgrade .. did you unbrand it at the same time?
You can also do a little mod to make the speakerphone work with the flip closed and another to make the volume a little louder

Cool!!! My phone was already unlocked so it was easier.

The V3x doesn't sound as nice and slim as this V3 one, also it doesn't come in Hot Pink like mine

Nah i think i'll stick with mine, after all i now have a video recorder on it.

Now does anyone know how i can add a MP3 Player to it?

I dont think you can due to lack of memory or the phone not being able to take memory cards.

You can flash it yourself with the usb cable supplied with the phone .. the new firmware enables video recording and frees up more memory.
Simple job to do.
The new versions of the phone should already have the firmware installed though.

Are there unlocked versions of the Firmware for the UK phones?

No, you have to get it unlocked via hardware or a code from your network. The firmware available is purely for unbranding and adding a few extra items.

Where Can I get the mods? Presumably I need a USB cable, does this come with the phone / is it the same as the one for the Motorola V220?
Has anyone unlocked a V3 from Orange recently without problem using free software like Universal Unlocker http://simlock.techgsm.com/simlock/u/ etc..?
