    A few things worthy of mention.
    Remeber that the phones were on a contract so you will now have a credit check\agreement against you. This is actually a service agreement so will be covered differently. For anyone selling on, I would advise just clearing the contract ASAP unless you plan on using it.
    For those keeping them go to the SE website and download the latest software for them, it wipes the phones memory so do it before you start entering new data. This will likely improve battery life and stability.

  • Yippee! mine finally arrived at 13:34, its well lush. Now I just have to figure out how to utilise this properly, my previous phone w590i is still only used for calls and photos, so must make better use of this, also noted on box that there are over 60 free films that can be downloaded, I expect there is a catch here somewhere.

    Got mine today.:j

    Thanks Kingsd316.

    Just unlocked it and it's currently getting de-branded via www.davinciteam.com for £22 if anyone is interested.

    Real test will be if i get another delivery on Tuesday as i managed to order another before the offer disappeared, only changing my email address when i ordered.

    Also my quidco has sill yet to track!

    Hope it does as £120 would be very nice.

    Just wanted to say a massive thanks to you for all your help guiding me through unlocking and de-branding my phone. :T:T:T Lovely for someone to take time to help someone. thanks. I now have my lovely new satio on o2 and debranded. :T:T

    really not sure whats happening with mine - managed to make a call earlier on it so I know it has been working - now it says emergency calls only - dh has phoned orange and it would seem that they cant even access their system = its down at the mo apparently

    other thing I have finally managed to download a film to my pc and then onto the phone but when I go to play its says licence for whatstheworstthatcouldhappen_satio.odf expired or missing - get new licence - wassat all about - its from their orange page that comes with the phone and is still showing as live - anyone any ideas before I scream! thanks

    hey guys,

    if you are using da vinci to unlock it, is it just flash/debrand? Is that the same thing?
    I just find the free step by step one too complicated. (im a simple being)

    Hello i used da vinci to unlock it then to flash/debrand it. Unlocking it will mean it can be used on any network o2, vodaphone etc. Flash/debranding it will remove orange's software from it and return it to its original software which i think is definatly worth doing. Good luck.
