can anyone confirm this? as in do you have personal experience?
not those who say i have friends who say that their phone is locked or someone told me its locked.
as in do you have a personal experience of your O2 Exec being locked?
also, it would be great if you could list the date and location where your exec was purchased so that the users here can get an idea.
using it with a variety of carriers in the US so it must be unlocked.
I got mine from the o2 online shop and it was despached on the 17/10/05. I can confirm that it is unlocked.
I purchased a Exec three weeks ago and it was unlocked.
I'm living in Ireland and the gimps at O2 Ireland haven't even heard about the Exec so can any of you - in particular lbendlin since you're not in the UK either tell me how you managed to get an Exec?
Any informationat at all would be greatly appreciated.
i got my xda exec from o2 online on the 1st december and its unlocked

O2 Ireland get's it's stock from O2 UK.
Ergo the Exec will be unlocked - assuming the gimps can get it for you. Time to call the CEO Danuta Gray and tell her to pull finger methinks

My friend from the UK bought my EXEC for me last NOV 10 and it is unlocked! I love this baby!
I got one today and it's unlocked. I got one three weeks ago and that was unlocked.
I hope rumours of them moving to locked SIM are untrue.

seems like there are no users who have a SIM-locked Exec at the moment. hopefully its not locked too coz mine has been bought by a friend on November 26th and is currently in shipment. the shopkeeper told him it was sim locked but he couldnt confirm it as he didnt have any sim card to try it out.
its been bothering me that i dont know what sg means. thanks!
at a guess... sony generic??
i was thinking its singapore?
SG is Singapore.
yes that would make sense... i got my phone on ebay and its from malayasia. so we need to wait for the singapore firmware to come online..
wow what the heck, i have a singapore version eventhough im in america? it would make more sense if i had the UK version.
depends where it came from originally. whoever you got it from might of imported it. a lot of tech stuff comes from malayasia first. it was out there months before the UK. its why i got mine from ebay.. i would of thought theres a lot of singapore X2s out there.
out there first but the update still hasnt reached them, great
i want a usable x2 =p
good point! maybe we moan more in the UK than in malayasia lol. i suspect its just some localisation differences and the update went up on friday so hopefully theyll finish off the rest on monday...
I went into my local Vodafone store with a friend who is after one the same as mine and we where told the 16GB version is no longer available in Europe , is this correct?
We tried a Phones4you and they did not even know there was a 16GB version for sale.
On the plus side he said Vodafones version of Froyo 2.2 when it comes out will not have all the Vodafone crap integrated into it this time around.
Paul.
they did have 16gb last week in holland though =/
When I was looking to upgrade through either Orange UK or Phones4u there was no option for the 16gb version (which I really wanted) so guess it's not that readily available

In Ireland they are waiting to re-stock soon. People can register again to be notified when it's available again in http://comingsoon.vodafone.ie/register/galaxys

I think the 16GB version is exclusive to Vodafone. Other operators here also sell the SGS but the 8GB (as in the phone stores)
No, there is an unbranded 16GB available for Portugal. I have one that I bought in Holland ( http://www.studentenmobile.nl ). It came with English and Portuguse manuals.
Product code is : GT-I9000HKATPH
Build Number: ECLAIR.XWJM2
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
I rang Samsung Netherlands, and they said that the guarantee is valid in Holland, and everywhere else within the EU for the I9000.
Anyone on o2 pay monthly, the 4.2.2 update for the C6603.
Active Customization in Service Menu is 1270-4993_R8A. UK Unbranded, check your Xperia Z, you might be in luck! Before anyone asks I don't know how to make a FTF so I'm sorry to say I won't be able to accommodate those who want it.

Good show. Is there any o2 garbage in terms of apps on it?

No random o2 apps, just the ones you had installed before the update, neither adds or removes any apps.

In which case, why did it take them so many more weeks than anyone else to release it?
I have a sim free Xperia Z and recently changed from orange to Virgin sim only account. I did previously upgrade my device to 4.2 using Taiwan firmware and today it's just requested to upgrade again. Same version 4.2 but hoping UK instead of Taiwan (not that it'll make much difference)
Anyway I can check?

Just found out that it's reverted back to Hong Kong on SI whatever it's called. Still all good

o2 are generally slow with updates.
So this is on o2 pay monthly branded devices you mean?
As I am on o2 pay monthly but it's sim free & still no update - I'm confused now, I don't even know what the difference is anymore ha! :silly:

So then you don't have an o2 pay monthly branded device, you have a sim free UK unbranded device, check your customization number in the service menu. Open the dialler and type in *#*#7378423#*#* then look for the customization info. Your device isn't an o2 device, it's an unbranded UK variant of the C6603 model.

Yeah I realise it is a different customization number, was just a bit thrown off when you said o2 pay monthly
Strange really lol. Thanks though, maybe unbranded will follow next!
Well I was on a UK unbranded phone, updated it to Vodafone last update via flashtool. Just checked it OTA and the update is there for me.

That's because your customization number is Vodafone UK so you get the updates when Vodafone release them.
Typical, I flashed the Spanish version yesterday! How do I get back to the UK version?
Question. I'm assuming us unbranded UK Z owners are going straight to 4:2.2 from 434. Will we have white balance from 253 and the modifications with the colour balance?

You can just flash the latest version. All versions from. 434 contain the white balance.

Yes you'll have the white balance and all the previous updates. .434 will go straight to 4.2.2.

What gave you that idea? The O2 update only released yesterday so I reckon now that all UK carrier customisations released we should get the unbranded update any time now.

Not necessarily. Look at 'Generic US' (C6602): no carrier customizations and still on 10.1.A.1.434.
Also, 'Generic UK' is probably being sold in Ireland too, since a 'Generic IE' customization does not exist.

Different model number though - my theory, they create the unbranded UK update first, then give it to the carriers, release the carrier updates then they can release the UK unbranded update.
US unbranded update may not even be ready yet, where as we know that the UK update must be ready as it has been customised and released for the carriers

I ordered mine, still says "New" under status I guess next day shipping means next week or month shipping?
Even samsung is out of stock
Just received mine, now trying to get it to run correctly on a custom ROM. ...
They're region locked (Thanks Oculus/Facebook ****ers!) so you'll have no luck in norway.
