I am hoping to get a wizard as soon as they come out and it looks like O2 and Vodaphone will be first. Do both these carriers lock their phones? I currently have an Orange and a t-mobile account so would prefer to use my existing sims and just use the new account as a means to "spead the payment costs" (I got my jam for free 9 months ago for the price of a £22 p/m contract :))

If they do lock their phones does anyway know if the existing unlock methods will work.

On a different note, I much prefer the look of the qtek 9100 to the k-jam - are there any hardware differences apart from the look?

I'm %90 sure they do... plus as a rule Vodafone butcher the firmware of most phones.

Get either a Imate or Qtek you should find it unlocked as its not a 'branded' phone.

I would suggest that buymobilephones.net is the best place as you can get one of the above with a contract... I am...
