    orange can unlock it for £20, regardless of how long you have had it

    no i installed the drivers in the tutorial and the programme, opened the programme, selected unlock n it took 9 seconds. Put a differant network sim in n away u go - the only problem i really had was uploading the file to pc as did not know had save it n do the open admin thing.... I got email quick, but if they dont reply n u paid by paypal just put a dispute in..... u get ur money back then..

    has ANYONE downloaded and watched any of the movies yet ?????????
    No replies - boo hoo - lol!!

    anyway I have finally managed it and wow the clarity is fab - great picture

    only pain I have is the orange reception is so bad where we live that my phone comes up emergency calls only when I am at home - yet 2 mins up the road and I get a signal and can use it - to get the films I had to get the phone to register a licence so had to drive to the next village to do it - once I had done this - have downloaded several films - am in hospital on Tuesday and think I may be a bit bored - am hoping to watch the films on my new lil phone
