    You would have to get in unlocked and even then i'm not sure about the internet settings on it. Luckily, i'm on o2 already.

    Don't bother ordering from o2 right now because even though the phone is supposed to be in stock i've been told they have soLd out and they don't know when the phone will be back in stock. They took my money which I was very annoyed about. But they have promised to refund. Better off going into an o2 shop and seeing if they have them in stock.

    Can the Europa be unlocked easily? Also would I have to unlock it if I use it on GiffGaff which uses the O2 network?

    i think i need an android phone also.

    what do you think would be better for browsing, in terms of screen size and ease of use?

    the sanfransico or the HTC wildfire?

    the wildfire apears to be more expensive but is it worth the extra money?

    the sanfrancisco by a country mile

    the screen on the wildfire is a quarter of the resolution of the OSF. Seriously, the OSF is a serious bargain. seriously. im serious.

    right im sold!

    everyone keeps recommending this phone to me, so it must be good!

    it seems like it is £110+ on ebay

    a company called ZTE seems to make them and sell them on ebay for around £90-£100...without the orange logo (i think thats the only diff)

    but on HUKD people seem tot hink you can get it for £60-70.....how much should i be looking to pay do you think?

    and does it matter which version of andriod i get on the phone?

    thanks
