A conversation with one nice lady, and then the next day with one professional looking guy:

*playing with O2 K750i*

"so this phone is the O2 one right? The one for 259.99"
"Yes, on payg"
"Why isn't it branded, this is just like the sim free version isn't it"
"Yes, as an independant company we don't sell branded versions of phones, just phones with separate sim cards"
"So basically i'm just getting a sim free k750 cheaper with a free sim card"
"Yes, basically. Although O2 would expect you to use the sim card that comes with the phone, seeing as they have substituted the price."
"ah cool, i'll be back next week for one! bye"
"Bye"

I didn't believe what i was hearing? It was something along the lines of independant company... something similair. I wasn't sure, but they defenitely said as a blah blah company, we don't sell branded phones.

Has anyone else come accross this?

I bought a T630 Payg O2 phone from them a couple of weeks ago which was unbranded but I also got a V800 at the same time which was obviously Vodafone branded.

I believe the Carphone Warehouse are becoming outstanding.

Their knowledge, services, gratitude, faithfulness to Sony Ericsson etc.!
