    What do networks disable on "their" N95s?

    Hi all you ever helpful people

    I gather that Nokia N95s on Orange and Vodafone have certain features disabled in their operator's firmware, I think VoIP in particular is one thing.

    Basically, if you know exactly what is disabled per network, please post them here. I'm choosing between Vodafone and T-mobile because of the data tariffs (I know T-m has more but they're shafting me on an upgrade so I'm probably going elsewhere) but I'd like to know what I'll miss out on if I get it on Vodafone, or another network.

    I know I can replace the firmware with non-branded, but that can come with problems so what do I miss out on as standard?

    Thanks

    Didn't know that. So they don't sell branded T-mobile N95s, for instance? (Then again, guess not since they have that horrible grey version.)

    What about from the retailers directly - I might get an N95 on Vodafone, for example...

    Thanks

    I'm still waiting (5 weeks) for tmobile to unlock my N95. However no one can match their data prices for £20 per month or £7.50 extra or maximum £1 per day. I get better P2P speeds from my tmobile card than I do from 8Mbps BT!

    Firmwire locking functions is different to locking the sim to the phone.
