    They're back in stock!!!!

    (At least I've just bought another one for my son).

    RE UNLOCKING!!!

    If you spend £30 on call credit (Including free credit) VM will GIVE you an unlock code as per their Ts + Cs!

    I know £30 may be a lot of money but u use it anyways and you get your phone unlocked free and you know you are not putting any dodgey software on your phone.

    HTH

    I have TWO of these and although they both recognise my Nokia, they don't recognise each other?

    Also wouldn't send to my sons Samsung.

    The bluetooth seems VERY weak.

    Could others try pairing with various phones and let me know what your findings are, please?

    I wonder if this is a problem with them or am I just unlucky.

    So I bought a 2.5mm-->3.5mm adaptor and 3.5mm splitter from Maplins yesterday but any other earphones I tried gave it no signal. Only the original earphones, and some that came with my wife's phone gave a signal.

    Was this a three-pole or four? The plug has four connections on it, I presume they are ground, left, right, button, and the aerial is probably the outer ring (look on the inside of the plug).

    I have done a quick search and the plug seems to be fairly specialist. If the aerial ends at the volume control then it might be possible to crack it open and add a 3.5mm socket so some better earphones could be used - the supplied ones are terrible!

    Ha ha ha ha!!!! Thank goodness I have something to laugh at today! (Crap day at the office).

    As for TomTom5.2 I don't have satnav and know nothing about it, and bluetooth means nothing to me as I've never found a need for it. Reading this thread I get the impression this means I can turn this phone into a piece of satnav equipment, but I will need another piece of kit (a bluetooth adapter) to get this to work?
    At risk of sounding a complete idiot exactly what extra kit will I need to buy, and in what way does this phone act as a satnav? Does it speak to me as I'm driving, and are there other costs involved in using it? e.g. do I have to pay for the tracking abilities to use satnav properly?
