orange is poised to strike new deals with the distribution channel allowing Sim-free stock to be sold on the network, following an agreement with Carphone/Hugh Symons that will see it connect generic handsets within weeks.

At Last Orange seen Sense. Leaving the handsets how god intended them to be,
All we now need to do is get rid of those animal Tariffs and they will be much better of.

I'm not entirely sure about this move - Orange says all handsets still have to be approved, and the sceptic in me says they might still require the handsets to be SIM-locked even though they're not branded. |

This sounds like Orange are sick of loosing customers to competitors due to slow allocation of branded stock from manufacturers-then again i could be wrong! Ha
