I've just rung o2 customer services who said all PAYG mobiles are supplied unlocked. :T Maybe someone could confirm their K750i is unlocked when received.

Could someone confirm if this is now out of stock?

I was looking at purchasing this from Great Universal, on O2, for around £90 but on 52 weeks interest free making around £1.70 a week to pay which I thought was good.

ahll

I have ordered one but not had any notification that it is out of stock as yet !

Do you think if it is out of stock you could just go to an O2 shop and ask for the deal as per the website for £49.99 ?

I bought one from Woolworths about a month ago and it is locked to O2. Cracking phone though and takes superb photos, battery lasts for ages.

Many thanks - works nicely although XS++ did hang on finishing the flash.

NB: Beware the www.davinciteam.com route (the guide at www.expansys.com recommended earlier in this thread) as whilst their website indicates that they can upgrade a k750i cid49 to w800i they do not have it as an option.

if your phone is CID49 (most new ones), just get the W800i main firmware from here, and XS++ from here.

follow the rest of the guide here. ignore the bits about custom packs and the FS (file system) and patches. You just flash the main to the phone. when its done disconnect the cable and take the battery out for a couple of mins, then put it back in and power it up. you should see a startup menu.

if XS++ hangs on finishing flash, look here

if you want the k750i firmware back, just get a k750i main firmware and flash it back.

can this be unlocked to work with 3G?

No. This is a 2G phone only.

Just bought one from the O2 shop, they priced matched it and put £1 on my sim card. Just tried a virgin sim but it says it's an invalid sim card. I take it that means it's locked to O2!! No other shop would price match the offer apart from O2 and they were shocked at that price as it was £69.99 + £10 top up.
