I'm in the UK and have got hold of a new O2 xda Mini S.

I'm on the Orange Network in the UK and the unit works fine in everyway
except for sending mms messages.
I can make call and  send/receive texts but not mms messages.
Someone told me it was to do with the fact that even thought its unlocked
there is a default setting in the rom with it being an O2 branded unit and
the only way to be able to be able to send/receive mms messages would be to
reflash it. Is this correct?

Secondly, yesterday I noticed on the 'TODAY' screen that I had a battery
status notification that has now disappeared - all I have done is to remove
some software from the remove programmes section -  there was one entry in
there that  looked like it was something to with O2 settings.
Butr I cannot find a way of getting the battery status onto the 'Today'
screen now.
Or are there any free progs about that I can install that will do the same
thing ?- it seemed quite useful to have it on front screen.
I have somehow managed to get rid of all the O2 branded stuff from the
phone - was the battery status on TODAY screen part of that?

Thirdly my friend has a unit and on the TODAY screen by the date, the day
also is shown - eg thursday 23 november
all I can get is the date. Cannot find anyway of putting the day name onto
the TODAY screen.

Lastly is there a way of restoring the unit to how it was as it came out of
the box?
There were two setup options when I first turned the unit on - one was for
O2 customers  which I accepted, as I knew it would work with an Orange SIM -
the other option was a more customised option - someone has told me I should
have probably selected this in order to be able to send mms messages on my
own network.

Thanks

Sorry for the confusing post
