My dad gave me his vodafone Nokia n95 as he's upgrading. I was browsing the internet, and some folk are saying it can't be unlocked by 3rd party devices (so i'm presuming if i went to the dude in town he wouldn't beable to unlock it)

I want to use my o2 simcard in it, just wondering if anyone knew anymore about this whole unlocking milarcky.

I don't think you can unlock them, but they can be flashed so you haven't got the gay vodafone firmware on there

My dad phoned vodafone and they gave him an unlock code for free, probably beacuse he was upgrading and giving them more money anyways.

Whey.

There isn't really, he just wants one less PDA like (the n95) but better than his old phone (can't remember what it is)

I'm interested to see what the touch screen nokia phone will be like.

I'd have gone the iPhone route if 02 didn't suck and they improved the camera, added mms and made bluetooth actually do something.

Sony Ericsson has totally gone off my radar to, they haven't released a phone that actually improves anything but the camera in so long.

ohhh n96, I'd get that ;D just because it's shiny and new, but also because it's just the n95 with "extra bits" I don't think there's any other phone I deem worthy enough to drop the n95 for.

Thing is, its the same phone they've released about 12 times with a slightly better camera each time.

Ever since the k700, Sony has lost "it".

Thats what I mean though, since then its just been the same phone over and over. Not real variation in design, feature set or OS.
