Please, Orange customers with N73

If anyone has an N73 on Orange, please (desperate!) can you tell me the following:
[LIST=1]
[*]What is the branding like? Do Orange disable the nice "Turn off active standby" option? Also what about icons?
[*]What firmware does the handset currently ship with? I assume because it's taken SO LONG to come out, it must be the .0.3 version?
[*]Any good? =D
[/LIST]
Thanks very much in advance, if anyone here was tricked, like me, into buying a Symbian handset on ORANGE.

The branding is typical Orange stuff - nasty Orange home screen, nasty Orange theme. Luckily you can disable the Orange home screen (this disables Nokia's Active Standby as well, so you can't have the superior Nokia version) by turning off Active Standby and you can change the theme to a standard Nokia one.

The firmware on the Orange handset I used (last week) was the original .01 version.

Thank you, I don't mind as long as I CAN disable the bar - I prefer "1 new message" than a stupid flashing envelope.
Sucks about the version 1 though!
Thanks.
