    Generally those prices are from listed price. The same thing happened with the Nokia Lumia 800. All of the other networks were offering it for around €400 while O2 were offering it for €200.

    I'll have a look in work tomorrow. But if it says that in the magazine it should be possible, unless its a misprint.

    Try ringing your local CPW and asking.

    Generally they would be locked to O2 if you buy it on O2. Sometimes you can get lucky, but I wouldn't risk €280 on it.

    Yeah there's plenty of shops scattered around cities that will unlock phones for a fee. However, unlocking your phone voids your warranty.

    In my experience I've never had a problem with the warranty on an unlocked phone.

    Never had any personal experiences myself, just what I've been told.
