I am thinking about getting a w810i for a long time now. I hate to order from Ebay and not knowing what I might get. All I want is a phone that has English menu but be able to read Chinese Simplified Id3 tags. So to ask experts' advice here, would the best way to go is to wait for Cingular branded w810i (i don't care about cingular branding or being locked) to come out and use Wotanserver to flash with of the language packs (I guess you have to flash the whole firmware not just the language pack it's self) listed above. My warranty will not be affected either right?
2 additional questions:
1. Does the phone have to be unlocked to be flashed?
2. Another question is how risky is it to flash phones?
Thanks for the help.
