Waiting for tomorrow to see if the o2 phones are locked or not.
Iv been told by o2 many times that all their phones are locked to o2 and have o2 software on them..
If thats not the case i will cancel my order @ carphone warehouse and buy one from there.

My contract order has been completed so expected Wednesday.

Going to get the unlock request off to O2 as soon as it arrives so my 3 sim will work :)

My O2 online contract order was placed yesterday (Sunday) and is now showing complete with tracking information. I'm expecting it to arrive on Wednesday since DHL haven't got it yet.

I was told it will be locked, but I can get it unlocked immediately by O2 for free since I'm on a 24-month contract.

did you no read that you have to have the handset for 12 month before you can pay to have it unlocked from o2?

That is true for pay as you go not contracts.

I got my tracking information on thursday evening for a contract phone . DHL website hasn't been updated since then and states " Parcel data received awaiting coll." Has anyone elses tracking information say anything different?

I don't really care it's locked or unlocked, since I'm on giffgaff anyway, and you can use an giffgaff SIM in an O2 locked phone.

More of my concern is whether these will be branded? That would seriously put me off buying it Does anyone have any info about this?

Ordered Saturday night, still processing at the moment. Heard various days for stock, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday - but nothing so far.

Hopefully with tomorrow going back to normal in the UK something will actually happen.

Not concerned about lock/unlock as I'll be moving to GiffGaff and I doubt there'll be any branding as I've not seen branding on O2 phones in along time. If for some strange reason it is, it'll be going back!

Hopefully tomorrow brings better news and progress.

I was told by o2 staff they have no branding on the case but have o2 software on them.

That shouldn't be too much of problem, I'll use adb to remove the O2 apps.

Thanks!
