    Just bought the 7250i for £49.99 for my Girlfriend (her birthday next week) great bargain thanks :-)

    ....now, does anyone know a quick way to unlock these or will I have to take it or send it somewhere?

    Thanks,

    When you get the phone, my son has said if you pm me the 'imei' no. then he can give you the code to unlock it. He has done it successfully to his own and my daughters and some of his mates nokia phones.

    Other than that it should only cost £10 - £20 to get it unlocked from an outlet.

    Hope this helps.

  • if you goto https://www.unlockme.co.uk they have the best sofwarez around, also links to other pages, that offer unlocking codes for nokia's.
    No reliance should be placed on the above.

    I bought this phone a month or so ago, at double the price may I add. Well, anyway, it wasn't locked when I got it from Argos, but if you are getting it from orange it may well be, but nokias are usually dead easy to unlock.

    It's a great phone to use, I am well chuffed with my one.

    Thanks to OP. Just bought Nokia 2650, at 39.99 that is brilliant price. These are going buy-it-now at 89.99 on ebay.
    I'm attracted by the very same one, but "my" review site says (to summarise):

    It is hard to say anything very positive about this phone, and it confirms the impression that Nokia don't yet "get" clamshells. Our advice would be: "look elsewhere!"

    Please let me know what you think - I want one that's reliable, sturdy, small, lightish, good at texting and with an add-to-able dictionary, and LOUD ring/alert tones. Not interested in games and gadgets.
