Phone eventually arrived after poor service from Very and the courier Yodal but that's another story and out of the goodness of their hearts (!!!) knocked off the £4.95 delivery charge.

It was locked but I threw myself at the mercy of the Vodaphone store and they unlocked it for free (after initially telling me it would be £20).

It's a straightforward intuitive phone, thank goodness. I'm using my old giffgaff sim so didn't have to mess about with transferring contacts etc. I've not really changed anything apart from keyboard. Managed through trial and error to transfer some music onto it though. All in all very chuffed for £68.01 Thanks for your all your help :T

Great! I have seen what Orange do to San Fransisco (had a SF1) and its horrid, at least the Vodaphone customisation is not too bad (especially in comparison to the megalomaniacs at Orange). If its OK for you just enjoy your phone

With the big screen great for web browsing, giffgaff is ideal for lots of data use. Try installing Opera Mobile off Play and using that, it renders most pages much better than the built in app or Chrome.

You should think about keeping your contacts, numbers and calender appointments online with your email account along with your emails & sync your phone with that account - then it doesn't matter if you change phone, change sim or just lose your phone - they are still safe

I also play music all the time and noticed straight away that the default music player doesn't play album tracks in order (it plays them in alphabetically order ) - doesn't seem to bother some people but drove me insane so i now use Winamp free version - its very good and comes with nice choice of widgets to replace the default player on your phone desktop
