SE 990i £99 refurb from Orange Shop

yeah debit/credit card, great idea with " script " - that will be both parties to the call with one if you get a nice operator can you tell them your mate thats Orange LOYAL wants Virgin OVP please lol

I assume I need a data cable for the USB programs, as flashing and firmware changes are risky enough without the vagaries of wireless (Wifi and BT) connections?

Off to Ebay unless there is cheap high street place for SEP990i accessories I think I need a USB cable, car charger and case.

Data cable should be included in box Seth

Not on the these refurbs, phone, battery and wall charger.

No CD, headphones, data cable or accessories

Orange took the IMEI of the 990 and will add £20 to my account as a charge and post me the unlock code.

Thanks for the unlock help!

that will fit fine as it uses the fastport connection like all recent SE phones

Got the phone, Orange unlock code on the way thanks to the "script!" £20 on my next contract bill, they will email me the code in 10 days!

Borrowed a USB cable from a chap at work.

Backup the GDFS and stored safely as a ZIP file in case of emergencies

CDA set to world 1
Debranded to SE software MUCH NICER :j

So very happy!

Couple of quick questions:

I would like to NOT use the Orange internet service at all (as it is not free). At work and Home I have Wifi which I'd love to use for email, web and RSS to pull down MP3 podcasts. Is it possible to setup the phone to 1) Never use Orange internet 2) use my home and work Wifi hotspots automatically?

I think I need to set up the Wifi access points for this to work? At work they use WEP 336 Access points all with the same name (the phone lists them individually!) and a 50 char SPK. At home I use WPA with a 63 char random key. Is there a way of copying a text file with keys on it to the phone and then not having to type these strings in?

Still cannot get over how BAD the Orange firmware was and how nice the SE f/w is!!

Thanks for all the help :T

cant you just delete the orange internet settings? (i dont have a SE symbian phone, so cant help with that)

there should be an option to save the password for the access point

orange and vodafone do a pretty good job of wrecking the firmware and whenever i get a vodafone/orange one to fix, i always debrand them asap (cant stand their branding)

All done could not find a "Paste function" for the WEP or WPA key so I typed it in carefully! All working fine, cancelled the Orange GRPS Wizard so no mobile connection which is what I wanted! Excellent thanks.

Will use a BT Keyboard at home to enter the 63 character WPA string
