In one of my earlier posts i decided to install Truphone onto my phone to see how making calls using VoIP worked. After installing Truphone several times i still had no luck in making any successful VoIP calls. After doing some research on google i found out Vodaphone had delibratley disabled the VoIP feature on the N95 8GB.
Continuing my research i then discovered that many people who wanted to see VoIP in action on the n95’s decided to debrand their phones. Firstly this isn’t something I’m familiar with and secondly even if i was apparently there’s a 25% chance you can make a B*lls up of things and completely screw your phone over…(excuse my french).. i.e. £400 just thrown in the bin. I had read that you could take it to Nokia and they would charge to change the firmware back to the original one but not sure how that would work as your not supposed to be changing any firmware.
So after doing further research in how to debrand your phone i discovered that there are many advantages the only 2 disadvantages being 1) you can mess up your phone for good and, 2) debranding will void your warranty. I then thought about this for a further 5 seconds and came to my decision…. Yehhh why not
