Default Changing the Icon set for Sony Ericsson W850i

So I just bought a new phone, Sony Ericsson W850i, and I love it. However, the phone is locked to Orange (cell network that might not be available in the US, not sure) and they've added their own icon set.

My friend has the same phone, but on T-Mobile, and his icons are the conventional ones. He has a theme called 'Orbit', which actually changes the icon set completely, and it vibrates when he moves the cursor.


Orbit theme looks like this, but this is a different phone.


So I asked him to send me the theme via Bluetooth, which he did, and after setting the theme, my icons are still the crappy orange ones which came with the phone, and it doesn't vibrate (boo hoo).

Does anyone know how I can change the icon set for the phone (without breaking it)?

W850i is not avaliable in the United States unless you import it. I imported a W830i to the tune of $400 USD (what can I say, I like slider phones).

The "vibrate while moving cursor" thing is tied to your phone, not the theme. I can't remember where in the menus it's buried, but it's the first thing I turned off.

Don't know about the icon set though, you might want to dig around maybe howardforums.com?

I just found out that most of the themes that I have preloaded onto my phone have these fancy menus, but it seems that Orange have branded it so much that I can't change it without some kind of hack, which is stupid, because I bought the phone for the phone, not the network. I was originally on T-Mobile with my old phone and I wanted to get a sim-free model, which I wouldn't have had problems with at all. When I went into the shop, it said 'sim-free', but it wasn't until after I'd waited for ages in line that I found out it was locked to Orange.

How poo is that?
