    providing the k750i is a cid 36 phone (correct me if i am wrong),you could update it to a w800i

    They have to be matching cid values otherwise it wont work as SE did a security update recently

    o2 contract phones are not locked but payg are
    although if you buy from cpw they may use sim free stock and so it would never have been locked (but ask them 1st)

    you can also convert cid49 k750 etc to a w800 with the correct equipment, done 100's.

    i won't bore you with the details but as long as the flash cid is higher than the erom cid than you can convert it.

    depends on the tool but i flash cid254 files to any phone and hence the k750 can be converted.

    there's a little more to it, but it all depends on the tools you use.
