Well no, CPW will send it to RIM for them to fix, if it's anything like my 8300 it will get replaced as it took them too long and I kicked off..
does the sim carrier look fudged? have you tried a piece of paper folded up between the sim and battery?
I'm sure voda will send it off to RIM for you

looks fine. phones like new.
tried that, tried a number of sims nothing, just reads "insert sim card" at the top.
will they still do it without proof of purchase?
i think its a hardware fault on the mother board, so should be covered by warrenty. i gave it to my boss to look at he was stumped.

Try blowing hard on the SIM contacts in the BB unit. If that doesn't do it it COULD - although slim chance - be a firmware issue; try to reload the same firmware but grab it off of Vodafone's firmware site If its a Vodafone BB; if not get a replacement PRONTO!
Even if you don't have the receipt; you can STILL have them check records of the purchase ... date & time, by bank card or credit card # to see their records match your claim.
