This is the charger problem, you can see the edge of the plastic where the hook shaped clip has broken off.



pressing the pad, indicated by my yellow editing, would release the UK charger and allow a Japanese or European plug to be fitted.



but the plug still fits in place and I can charge the phone..

@tomjsmith000,

thanks for the bid,

The original back cover is excellent. There are a few marks on the chrome. I feel the screen is excellent.

I would give it 9/10

it has always been in the protective sleeve.

If I was to use this on orange would I need additional services from them?

I read that unlatched means the PIN is no longer locked to a network but what does that actually mean?

The best place for those questions is in The Official Esato BlackBerry Club! thread I think fatreg uses a BB on Orange.


I think if a BB is latched then it is associated with my account, so unlatching it, by telling Vodafone that I want bb services removed means it could be used on another network.

Best to check if my opinion is correct in the The Official Esato BlackBerry Club! thread.

Unlocking and unlatching are not the same thing! You unlatch a phone to be able to register it for data services but the phone remains locked to the network it came on - unless it was unlocked before.
Unlatching is supposed to be automatic nowaday and covered by RIM but I got mine unlatched by Orange when cancelling my data package.
And you would need a data package to get any real benefit out of a BB phone. Mine cost me £3 a month for 250Mb from Orange which I personally never exceeded.
