    Should the phone not be to my liking, it might in 90 days appear on an auction site
    WHAT??? Selling things on auction sites that you heard about on here will get you flamed by the anti-auction police, so be warned!!
    My Lobster came today - Wahoooooo!!! ! :D
    We were out, so have to wait until tomorrow for redelivery :( Booooo

    I left a note saying "please leave with a neighbour if possible", the tracking said "card left" but no card at home when I arrived (did they even bother?). The phone lines close at 5.30pm (for a home delivery company!) so I can only assume they will re-attempt delivery tommorrow when there will be somebody in. I might call them, although I expect the van will have left by the time I call anyway.

    You need to have put £30 airtime onto your SIM card (you don't have to have actually used it yet and it won't actually cost you anything for the code) and then either phone Virgin CS or send them an email requesting the unlock code and including your name, address, make and model of phone, the IMEI number of phone and your Virgin phone number.

    They sent me my code by email within a few hours of requesting it however this can usually take a few days.

    Once you get the unlock code, put a different network SIM in your phone you'll get the message: "SIM lock" or "Network lock". This will disappear after a few seconds. Next, you'll notice the message: "Please insert unlock code". So enter the unlock code and press the left soft key and the phone is then unlocked. If it doesn't work, don't try again as you evidently might permanently block the phone, go back to Virgin and let them know.

    Sorry for my ignorance but how and where do you search for the tomtom compatible for this phone.

    I did a google search but it seams to only talk about Nokia and symbian phones.
    Its better to be late in this life than early in the next one.

    Slow down speed kills.

    You certainly can! I discovered this by trial and error at the weekend.

    Load your MP3 file to the "My Documents" folder and it will appear in the drop down list of available tones. It will also recognise .wma files.

    Some of you must have received your phone by now. How are you all finding it?

    For the last few days all I've been doing is watching TV on it in my office!!!

    Can't believe that people are now buying it for £19.99 refurbished. :D

    I've just setup remote desktop access to my phone via my PC. ITs brilliant, although TV streaming is a bit jerky on the PC.
