I believe I read once somewhere in this forum that O2 (UK) supply phones on contract which are not locked to their network. Is this correct? As I thought all operators locked their phones to their specific network.
Sorry if this is the wrong thread, but if there is any consolation I do intend to get the K800i.

I've never had a locked o2 mobile that came through contract (4 in total) dont see the point, your paying the line rental so they are getting their money's worth no matter what network u choose to go on after that.

Minstrel Man, thanks for your prompt response. Do you deal with O2 direct or through CPW or another company?
I'll be looking at ordering through the O2 webiste as a new customer.
Am currently with Vodaphone. Never had need to contact their customer services. However reading through these various threads, their tariffs do appear to be more expensive.
Once again, thanks Minstrel Man

I'm debating whether to go 3G or stick with normal GSM. Any thoughts on which I should go for?
I'm really just after the phone for it's convenience factor. Quality camera, good looking reliable phone. I mainly text (SMS but now increasingly MMS) with the ocassional phone calls.

Another question.
I can get K800i on O2 3G for minimum £19pm 12month contract and pay £50 for the phone. Total cost over the contract period £278
If I opt for GSM the phone is free but only on 18mth £30 minimum contract. Total cost over the contract period £540
The better deal appears to be 3G but I have no experience with 3G network.

Where is this from? It can't be O2 online as there is no difference in price or offer for 2.5g or 3g on O2 online. It makes no odds at all as you can use your inclusive minutes for video calls - sounds a bit fishy to me.

Does this mean I can't use any sim in the k800i unless it says 3g somewhere or what?
