    If you can stretch your budget a bit more you can get an iPhone/Top spec Android competitor by buying this:

    http://www.amazon.de/LG-Smartphone-Touchscreen-interner-Speicher/dp/B0044BCTU0

    Windows Phone 7 has a very nice UI to use while having a great App development base. 5MP camera too for HD video recording, 3.8" display, 16GB memory, 3G, Wi-Fi. Everything you could want really.

    What does it say when you put in a SIM from a different network? To install the apps you must setup a windows live account. If you are still having trouble take a look at this thread about the phone and you can see how to resolve the issues if they continue. http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056263837&page=32

    Sorry you had to change network :(. That really shouldn't have happened as everyone else who bought that phone said they could use different networks SIMs in them.

    Hang on...I put my sim in the wrong way when i got mine. It looks odd, but try flipping it around.

    The phone was unlocked. I bought the same one, from the same seller. Had the same issue, and realised i was being a silly billy!
