Is the touch screen less sensitive now? I found it a bit too eager but then I am coming from a G1/Magic screen! Volume on calls was an issue, has the call quality improved? Apparently they've tweaked the equaliser so there's more bass and a bit more noise reduction.
You might be the first yeah hehe, nothing like living life on the edge

Yeah, he claimed he had it all down 2 months ago *shrugs* I'm all for sharing information and sometimes you do have to protect your hard work, especially if you've spent time on a tutorial. However just ask to be credited instead of hiding behind copyright stuff, since really, that argument wouldn't hold water as its invalidating the warranty to begin with, and you're reverse engineering a software update process.
I guess some people just want props and money...
I'm checking it out in more depth though for a certain firmware backup...
True. I have moaned that i wasn't thanked as well.
Luckly i have the Vodafone F/W saved isn't it.
X10 debranding
Just as an afterthought for anyone thinking of undertaking the suggestions here, search in market for a backup tool that will store everything for you to your sd card, otherwise you could be spending some time re-entering your contacts, apps, etc! Also, if you can't easily find the details on esato, just have a quick google search (hint - look up).
Vodafone are right in saying the warranty may be defunct if you do this, but, follow the instructions closely and ensure you follow EVERY step, and you shouldn't have a problem. Insurance for phones should not be affected by this, and if all works well, you will get the Android 2.0/2.1 updates as soon as SE release them - possibly a year before VF get round to it?????
If you are considering an X10 as a new phone and are spooked by all the complaining about VF restricting, delaying, or whatever, software updates, go get one from CarPhoneWarehouse, as they're not tied in apparently.
Just to clarify from my previous post about the C905 and alternative firmware - I was told about this by SE, not VF, just in case that's not clear - I'd hate to upset people at VF.
Oh, and it does work - I've a nice phone that has no VF restrictions on now

1. Download and Unzip the files.
2. Load up SEUS
3. Update the handset via SEUS, it will probably say you have the lastest firmware on the phone but proceed with the reinstall
4. Once thats done open C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs or C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs
5. Rename the downloaded files to give them the same name as the files in the blob_fs directory
6. Re-run the update process
7. Enjoy a debranded handset.
