Help Vodafone Customisation

[trekkerdean]

Before I purchase the Arc, I was hoping that someone could answer the following questions about the apps that Vodafone have installed as part of their build:


1. While looking on YouTube Vodafone has a Music shop icon on the bottom left shortcut tray, can this be removed and replaced with a different shortcut?

2. Can the Vodafone apps on the main home screen be deleted?

3. On the main menu, do the Vodafone apps arrange with the icons when the sorting option is chosen?

4. Can the Vodafone apps be uninstalled?

5. In general is the Arc over branded by Vodafone?

Thank you.

I dont know the answer to any of your questions, so that's good. However, when i bought my htc hero on vodafone i did it through a 3rd party website (FWIW i used mobilephonesdirect.co.uk, but there's quite a few out there), and it turned up completely unbranded.

Now, this may have been due to voda not carrying the hero themselves, but i suspect it's not, and that they just supply unbranded phones themselves and bundle it with a resold contract from voda/tmobile/whatever. Might be worth checking some 3rd party websites and asking whether the phone is branded or unbranded on a voda contract.
