HI all have just recieved my brand new desire on 3… May seem a silly question but the phone comes in a box which slides out from a cover box..should this have been sealed? Just need some advice in case i need to send back before use...thanks..

The phone companies will probably take out the phone when they get it to add on new software specific to the network, or add other features like bigger SD cards etc.

My phone from Play which was unlocked, not from any network had the seal already opened even though it was a brand new phone. It also came with a new "seal" sticker inside the box which I assume the network is then meant to replace the broken seal so that it looks like its never been opened.

The HTC owners I know had theirs shipped in sealed box's. ( Vodafone, DAP, P4U and CPW )

However, I believe many of these £285 deals on 02 ( buy the phone for £285 and take out a 12 month £15 simplicity deal ) are being shipped in unsealed box's ( refurbs ? ).


With the amount of Desires being returned and the price of the handset. I wouldn't be happy with an unsealed box.

Thanks guys, they are exchanging for me on friday, 2 year contract is too long to take a chance with. The seal was stuck to the sleeve rather than the box....thanks again...

They will just re-seal it and send it out to another punter

I was under the impression the manufacturers flashed and boxed the phones for the networks. Therfore all phones should come in sealed box's. This is what both 02 and Vodafone told me ?
