Congrats matey. If the phone will be coming direct from Virgin then it will be locked and branded. It will also have a Virgin Mobile badge on it instead of the badge with the phones model number on.

Cheers thanks alot thats great. I will swap my phone sometimes depending on my mood lol. I never seen Virgin logo on their phones before maybe a start up screen and some wallpapers i dont know. I always knew they were locked but if you spend 30 quid with them they send you the code upon request. |

So no awful icons in menus like Orange or Vodafone? The new Virgin tariff is good though top up £20 and you get unlimited texts and 1 giga byte of browsing. If you top up less its 30p per day cheaper than Vodafone at same 25mb though Virgin/T Mobile signal poor  if only Virgin piggy backed on a different network. |

Good good. I do remember a long time ago my brother had a Virgin Mobile Nokia 6233 it had no branding but it did have a Virgin red theme with their menus but you could switch it off and delete it. Just was not sure how things had changed. Has anyone on here done a review?

Bloody hell it's taken them long enough. What have they done. Built the phone,accessories etc by hand or didn't they sell enough copies to cover the cost of postage to send the phone to you (cos virgin would probably have given them the phone for free) ????

I'm still waiting for my prize to arrive to. SE said they were waiting on availability and that the prizes would be sent out at the end of May. I would have thought they would give away stock that's been sitting around for a while but instead it's stock the don't have...  no matter, still waiting.
