    If I was shifting a million quid's worth of phones, I'd be tempted to leave a few of them on and track their location... Anyway, well done the police - lets hope the judiciary finishes the job off.

    Just some food for thought :)

    If the theft ended up being successful, it's likely that Orange would bar all the IMEI numbers, assuming they have a record of them. They would then be useless in this country but would work fine abroad and would therefore be sold off abroad. Unless perhaps they can be unblocked by shady underground techies! I guess criminals can do anything nowadays.

    No wonder nobody can get hold of the sony ericcson k750i and w800, and IMEI' are no problem at all if you are willing to do it, which I'm sure they ARE having just done a highway robbery........lol
