Its not easy to unlock N8. Bought one locked to 3, and after some search came to the conclusion it couldn't be done online. Shops were charging about £30 to unlock them.

So I sold it & bought a new one instead. If you're getting one for good price, then by all means do go for it, the phones really good.

Anyone heard anything about the program ending, or do we think they are they just going to let it roll on?

Yes, I was thinking the same thing - anyone in the know?

Thanks!

And while we are on the subject - are we keeping the phones or going back to what we had???

I have always been a Nokia fan and while I think the N8 is not bad (and pretty bug free for the first run) I think I will be going back to my Desire.

At the moment at Tesco, they have got the N8 on a Tesco contract. It is a 24 month contract for £20 per month and for that you get 750 minutes, 5000 texts and 1 GB data.

Latest contact I had with them they replied -

Dear ...........,

Thank you for your email. I can confirm that you started uploading data from 4th October. I would say, therefore, that your participation will be required until at least April 5th 2011. I will try and double check with the Finnish team just to ensure that they do not need to bring it to a specific date other than that.
At the end of the trial the handset remains yours to keep and to do with as you choose.


Kind regards
