thanks! i phoned up got a nice lady( as i said before i have had bad experiences with o2 so much so i was actually in contact with their chief exec-it was resolved but i swore never to use o2 again-that was before i saw the student site tho lol) she said order was still being processed and gave me the tracking number, said id get it in a couple of days-thanks eveyone ill let you know when i get it (and if the bloody thing works LOL that will be the next thing.........) can anyone tell me what experiences they have had with o2 REFURB phones (unlocked? condition?) thanks, i love this site!!!

I got a reburbished 6610i from o2, you don't get a box or anything, but it came unlocked, and has worked fine, and even had a protective cover on the screen. I use it with a vodafine sim card, never had a problem with it

ooh heres hoping! i know i could pay a fiver or even download the unlocking thing (ive done it enough times) but just easier if its already done. still no confirmation and i cant track it yet as theres no option to (unless im missing something) but i do have the tracking number and the woman said they def had the order so feel ok abt it, ill prob have to phone again tho i suspect, any more experiences would be gladly recieved! oh and kai what was the state of the handset itself, i presume they stuck a new fascia on (must have done if screen protector i spose)

almost made sense of what you wrote! Anyway the phone was in perfect condition, only diference between it and a full priced phone was that it wasn't boxed, and didn't come with headphones or a driver disk for the computer. Got those anyway, so wasn't bother. Overall very pleased with it

cheers for the sarcasm, much appreciated! anyway an update, still no email or tracking, phoned up today and was told not in stock, could be months. still in stock on the website and have been charged, not happy (my 'fears' on my orig post dont seem so silly now, do they!) ive emailed head office, they are the ones to go to when things go balls up, ill see what happens. thanks phoebe and kai for listening to me by the way!

Got my samsung E350 yesterday! Absolutely love it!
Whats more, the phone i bought in march and had to replace in may has now been refunded so the samsung has in effect cost £10. (And we're selling the shuffle so it's costing even less!)
Id like to advise people never to waste their pennies on one of the o2 brand phones. Whilst o2 have never disappointed me with their seervice, their phone broke on several important occassions! I know im not the first to have had problems with it, and can see why people recommend anything but!

No, they still seem pretty silly to me.

Great news and I agree 100% about 02 branded phones

i do apologise profusely. my fears were founded as i have experienced problems as i said in my previous post. i presume it is your job to determine which posts are valid and which arent, therfore, if you like, i will pm you EVERY time i post to get your approval. have a nice day! looking forward to your no doubt extensive and witty criticism of this post, L.

i agree with you miranda, i had an o2 x3, lost its settings all the time, turned off, crashed etc i swore id never get another 02 branded phone (benq make normally) as nearly every review you read of them mentions the buggy firmware.
