    This model of phone is pretty good. Two drawbacks: the battery suddenly discharges without warning and the phone shuts down. I'm going to have to send it back to sort this out, but as I've had to cut up my sim card to make it compatible (which I didn't realise when I chose this model), I can't put it back in the old one in the meantime.

    Hello, When I start up, the Orange logo appears on the screen. Does this mean that the phone has not been unlocked? How can I check this (I don't have cards from other operators)? There is no section in the help centre dealing with this issue. Thanks for your feedback JD
