    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.


    isnt it contract? i didnt think you could do that on contract phones

    Hello,

    "Debranding" just means to flash generic firmware, covered when you select
    Flash & Unlock during purchase.

    Thanks,

    You could try re-installing the drivers?
