Hi,
any one has idea that Carphonewarehouse UK sells SIM free HTC Mozart, would this be on Orange software or on Original HTC softwares?
cheers...
Hi!
I got my Mozart 7 from CPW and it has orange branding and it's locked to orange as well.
*is quite easy to debrand the Mozart 7
Hope that help
Carphonewarehouse provides just the same phone as you would get from Orange directly, same orange box with orange software on the phone.
However, if you get it from O2, it will be HTC software loaded phone with just locked to O2 which O2 can unlock for you for £15/- straight away.
cheers....

Do the orange or t-mobile handsets come with branded ROMs? I want to get a black unlocked t-mobile Hero but I don't want some daft t-mobile ROM. I saw my friend's T-Mobile Diamond and nearly puked at the colorscheme.
don't worry, the T-mobile one has only got a link to the t-zones page in the browser and a t-mobiel logo on the front.
that ****ty pink colour is nowehere to be seen from what i've heard.
Saw one that a colleauge had bought and convinced me to get mine cos it wasn't really changed any.
Nope, just the start up logo on the Orange is included within the Hero, Android and HTC logos and a few links to Orange World etc that are useful.
Not keen on the black T-Mobile... looks cheap upto the Graphite one on Orange...
Thanks guys. Just bid on an apparently unlocked Orange Graphite Hero. Can't wait
I bought my HTC Hero off ebay, I got it right after they were released in the UK. Will the update that Orange released work for my phone or is that specifically for phones on the orange network?

If yours is white or brown/black and unlocked, you can get the update from the HTC site.
The Orange update is only for BRANDED Orange phones.
Its for Orange branded handsets.
If your's in a generic HTC Hero, then the generic HTC firmware update should work.
Enter your serial number in the appropriate place on the updates page to find out if its compatible.
If its a T-Mobile Hero, you will have to wait...
Most likely - since you got on on e-Bay - it will be a generic. I'd suggest that you flash it with one of the MoDaCo ROMs that also roots the phone (a lot of the utility apps require root access). Besides, the MoDaCo releases help free up on-board memory for running apps.
Yes - I have a white generic Hero bought through e-Bay.
I'm a bit confused about HTC's new Windows Mobile 7 phones.
I life in Germany an HTC released three new mobile phones running Windows Mobile 7; the HTC Mozart, HTC Trophy and the HTC HD 7.
Now comes the confusing part. It seems to me that Mozart ist only available with a t-mobile branding, the HD 7 with an O2 and the trophy with a vodafone. On getgoods.de they offer all of them. And they say the devices got a branding but no SIMlock. From another source I heard that the branding is software only.
I want to buy either the Mozart or Trophy, but my carrier is O2. Would there be any problem? What will I have to do?
The branding comes from the fact that they are the only ones allowed to sell it on contract, they will come simlocked (but Mozart isn't impossible to unlock) and will have specific software to the carrier, you can also purchase non-branded phones from the likes of amazon or microsoft, which will come unlocked and wont have any of the programs for o2 or t-mobile etc
It seems that HTC have made available an update for their HTC 7 Mozart phones!
Can anyone check it?

Still no updates from Microsoft or HTC on my Orange UK rom
I believe these HTC updates are for unlocked and unbranded HTC 7 Mozart... Lets wait for more feedback
No unbranded or branded Mozart with the HTC update?
so far no update found on 7 mozart after the pre-NoDo update. (non-carrier branded)
Yup...confirmed... and contact the HTC Customer Service via e-mail... no update avail yet...
Hi folks,
I'm a HTC user but with a still survivor HTC Touch working with WM6.5, and guess what even without those angry birds a nd funny stuff to play in Android or Iphuc phones i get all that i want with this old toy.
I hav on my portuguese operator Optimus PT a HTC 7 Mozart wichi can buy for only 100€ i think it's a good value.
Now my doubt is, the is certain that is blocked or branded to the network and how can i give a treatment to upgrade it to a more beautifull windows experience.
I already read the "How to flash" and the 18 roms already found but i only see orange uk and asia roms and none PT can i go up only with the unbranded HTC european rom ????
