How in hell are they locking these damn phones?![]()
Oh and I ordered from P4u online. There was no sticker to redeem the charger and no included speakers. Spoke to P4U and they have confirmed that I can use the nokia redemption site from the 16th for the charger, and they will apparently send me the speakers after 28 days - did anyone else actually have them arrive with the phone?
Well, my SIM is live now (just waiting for the insurance people to start hounding me with calls). Where I am the speed test (on 3g) gives me around 1.6MB a second on EE and about 3.5MB a second on my Giffgaff/O2 SIM (using my Lumia 800 to test).
I'll try a few other locations first, but I'm tempted to pay off the contract and stick with Giffgaff, can't be doing with such slow 3G speeds and a lack of unlimited data.

That's not good news. I am hoping that orange come back to me quickly with an unlock code as I will flash generic firmware and apply the unlock. Does Andy have any bright ideas?
Just as an FYI, I have spoken to the chaps at www.unlockfrog.com, I have used them in the past to unlock a Samsung omnia 7 and they were very good. They are 100% they can unlock the 920 and it will take between 3-7 days for an unlock code.
I've gone for this option, wish me luck![]()
