    Not sure 68p is worth a double :j (especially when you can get £10 cashback with Phones4u), but obviously you have to look at the overall deal which is clearly the best around at the moment for this model (but who khows what Bank Holiday deals might be coming up in the next few days :think: ).
    Still, I'm happy :D

    Got mine today.
    It is black in colour as well, but it does still look quite nice, especially for the price.

    Rumour has it that for the K510i, it needs to be unlocked via a speical cable and software........but the ones locked to Vodafone can be unlocked remotely via a code generated on the phones IEMI number.

    Does anyone know of such a solution for this model ?

    I think pretty much any Vodafone can be unlocked with a code but Vodafone will charge you (up to £30?) if you've had the phone for less than a year. There are sites like vodacodes that will give you the code for £14.99, or if you post in the mobiles forum, you might be able to get the code for a tenner (can't rememer the guy's username, but there's definitely a forum member who has access to the codes) ;)

    you can only unlock these via a code (if it is on voda), or any other network you can either get the code from the network or get it done via a cable
