FS: Fully customized/pimped W810 (my personal backup)

[gforce23]

Alright, I'm getting a great offer to buy a SE P1i in mint condition and since I already have 2 phones, one of them must go - the uber excellent Sony Ericsson W810i. This was originally a Cingular branded phone but has been modified to make it better and ensure compatibility with the latest eye candy software (such as flash themes). List of mods:
Fully unlocked - works with ANY damn SIM in the world (850/900/1800/1900)
De-branded software - no trace of Cingular/AT&T crap menus and media apps.
Latest firmware- Cingular's original R3A was crap.
Extras: Better camera drivers (enhanced night mode, faster focus time etc.), EFR enabled, Flash theme/menu support, customized walkman player & higher clarity acoustic drivers, custom startup/shutdown sound and animations, no nasty operator logos on the standby screen, clear text fonts for better readability, finer degree of control while playing songs and a few other changes that make it a bit better than any other W810 out there.
Everything has been tested over a series of months and there's absolutely no random unwanted crap. Asking for $120 which is reasonable considering the amount of time I've devoted to changing all that stuff. As a reference, vanilla W810s in worse condition are being sold on ebay for $100+. This phone's exterior is a 9/10 with zero scratches, dents or cracks. Also included is a Sandisk 1GB MS DuoPro stick, charger, DCU60 usb cable and a Sony MS DuoPro card adapter.
Here's a sampler of the dozens of custom animated flash menus on the phone (in order - exact replica of the iPhone, walkman dancer (vertical menu), beatport). I can guarantee you'll spend weeks playing around and showing off every custom theme.

3G SIMs (like all current SIMs from AT&T) will work in the phone. However, the phone does not support UMTS/3G operational frequencies (850/1900/2100 Mhz) and will work on 2G freqs instead (850/900/1800/1900). However, the phone does have EDGE which is one of the fastest modes of data access on a 2G/2.5G network.

Not interested in a cash sale.. LMK if you have any high end stuff..

Not sure what you mean.. :thinking:

Well, there are two ways of explaining it. First, the hard way - download a bunch of hacking tools, firmware flashers, file system readers along with main firmware, cust packs for NA, experiment with the GDFS, delete files, add files, drink some beer, play havoc with the phone, pray that it isn't dead already and then jump around naked when it works. :D Repeat the entire thing everytime you wanna install something new.
The easy way, of course, is to not worry about all that crap and just buy this phone. :D

so even if i have the 3g SIM, I can put it in a 2g phone and it will work, it will just work as if i had a 2g SIM? maybe a bit clearer version of what i meant to say...

Yup. AFAIK, the only 3G operator in the world that does not allow 2G operation on a 3G chip is "3".
EDIT: It doesn't work the other way around though. Putting a 2G SIM in a 3G dedicated phone won't work.

okay, got ya
