    Why dont you just ring them and port early?

    Have to say, Im loving the phone. My first time on a smartphone and Im finding it easy to use, and have been enjoying being able to do things like MapMyRun.

    My only concern is that I find it a little big, so Im a bit fumbly, but presume Ill get used to that.

    I might give them a call in morning and see no time today. I find size grand but I'm coming from galaxy nexus so not much diff in size. Anyone know about tethering with o2? Think android they can't check it. Was free on Vodafone anyway.

    Few things :

    Phone is awesome ! Brilliant build and excellent speaker is the highlight for me !

    As for unlocking found this :http://www.o2online.ie/o2/help/unlock-request.php

    Seems that you can get unlock code straight away if you look at the t&c

    I can confirm that they'll send you an unlock code before the end of contract.
    I received my phone yesterday, sent in an unlock request yesterday afternoon, and was emailed the unlock code today

    Tried myself earlier, keeps giving me a 502 error and not loading, might be something to do with me being a new billpay customer. Are you an existing member of O2 billpay?

    I ported over from three prepay and got an unlock before the port had finished so I doubt it has anything to do with your previous circumstances. Once you're in contract you're pretty much stuck so they're happy enough to unlock

    So I was sent my unlock code but now discover Ive to put a non O2 sim in to use the code. I dont have one. And anyone I know who is not O2, is not using a micro sim.

    Whats the best thing to do? I see Tesco online are selling a pay as you go micro sim for 2.5 euro - would this be the best way forward?

    Also - how long does the unlock code they sent me last, if I dont get round to unlocking it asap?

    Like who? Its a tenner for one from Vodafone. Obv an O2 one is no good to me to unlock an O2 locked phone. I cant find a Meteor price.

    3 definitely send out SIM cards for free. Quick delivery as well usually.

    My understanding is that the lock code is tired to the phone and does not expire.

    3 (if you ask on their forum here on boards), Meteor and 48months all send out free sims.

    Vodafone charging €10 for theirs is ridiculous!

    Thanks everyone re the sim card info and SteM on the unlock code info.

    Went for my first run with the phone today - may have to get myself a bigger bum bag, had to fairly squeeze it in!! But I got to do MapMyRun for the first time ever and as suspected, Ive been totally overestimating my distance!

    Just ordered this last night, missed out on the 20% off, but managed to get the 10%. Hoping Fat Cheese will come through too although I won't hold my breath! Had my 2 year anniversary of one payment I'm still waiting from with them during the week!

    There's some cheap cases here:

    or some more expensive ones here. Got one of the metal cases on here for my Desire 3 years ago and it's proven invaluable over the years:

    Take a look at this thread:
    http://www.boards.ie/ttfthread/2056998456/1

    If anybody else has had an ordered please go to post 87 on the above thread and thank the post. So far four people seem to have had their orders cancelled without any explanation from O2.

    You could persist with complaining, but I reckon since o2 don't want my money they can go fcuk themselves. You can pick up a new One from Carphone Warehouse (on Meteor) for 529 and there's a promo code for 10% if you sign up to their email on their website (taking it down to €477). It runs out on the 31st of this month so you have a few days to get it.
