    the grey and silver are the same 1's

    They aren't, I got silver ones from o2 contracts - completely unlocked & nothing to do with orange! They must be the same as the black ones

    Well thats new to me then coz i have never seen any silver ones without orange logos on them! must be summit new, maybe voda signed a deal with samsung to supply the silver ones to them too or summit

    Whis one is Better?? well its a matter of opinion, they are both really the same. I belive the silver 1 is better looking, but i dont like the software resrictions taht orange have added and the ugly orange logo!

    i have a black one myself, but i just orderd my bro a silver orange 1 from e2save.

    I must say the silver 1 does look very nice!!

    Did you pay anything extra for it??

    looks as if the silver 1 could be the best looking and have the
    same software as the black one!

    No I didn't, I think they are the most sought after on ebay aswell.

    Got it with phones4u £120 cashback, not as good as this deal but a better contract as 50 free texts per month, plus I sold the fone on ebay & made a profit!

    Hi Ive ordered my phone and hopefully should arrive today!
    I did do a quick search last nite on google and came up with a couple of websites that provide the kit to unlock the phones and take away the specific Orange Specifications, they call it an unlocking 'clip' and brand 'flash' Ive attached a website address that gives and example of this ( hope im allowed to do that??) each one costs £25 so not a particulary cheap option!

    Does anyone have any views as to whether these definately work and whether you can get them cheaper. I definately want to use my new phone with a vodafone sim card as the contract I have is 200 mins anytime and 500 free texts a mth which is a godsend !!!!

    Thanks

    e2save doesn't have the silver version, they only have the dark grey version... and i believe that they are different

    Just received my phone this morning, The security seals were broken but I couldn't see nothing missing.
    The phone is the black one with no Orange logo's - Will this be unlocked ?
    I tried to register with Orange who told me E2save should register the phone and i need to contact them. I phoned E2save, they said the phone will register itself within 24 hours, so gotta a wait now.
