Story taken from the guardian, read on!
It began with a temperamental mobile phone and ended - well, read on. When Jan du Boulay's Nokia handset began to act up he went to his local Orange shop and requested an upgrade to a more reliable phone. A Sony Ericsson T68i was recommended. So glowing was the testimony that du Boulay advised a friend to invest in the same model. However, both of them found that they were unable to access the Orange network in areas where they had previously had good reception. They couldn't even get through when standing next to other Orange customers who were bellowing happily into their own mobiles. Orange was unenthusiastic about diagnosing the problem, although it was helping itself to du Boulay's monthly payments, and du Boulay eventually had to send the phone to Sony Ericsson for investigation. Ten days was quoted for repair, but the weeks slipped by and it was nearly two months later when he received a replacement handset, his own being beyond salvation. The new phone was full of someone else's phone numbers and Pamela Anderson languished across the display screen. When du Boulay tried to change her for a more restful image he discovered a portfolio of hardcore porn and a screensaver featuring Garfield rogering a dog.
With such excitements on hand it is not surprising that Sony Ericsson is sluggish about work matters; it takes the press office a month to get back to me. Du Boulay's long wait was due to a shortage of replacement handsets (apparently the T68i usually works and is popular) and when one was finally secured there was "a lapse in the resetting procedure", which meant "inappropriate images" were left on it. Du Boulay has now had a new, purified phone delivered and a real live call from customer services to apologise.

Well, I think this is orange's fault. SE couldn't help them giving him a used phone...

Good grief, i'm being pursued by that Garfield&Odie Gif.
My t68i had it, and my p800 has it.
Can someone make a new one, for instance, with Mickey & Goofy...
