Hi Guys

Im currently using a LG optimus just upgraded to 2.1

Love the phone but its not as sexy as the x8!!!

Im on Tmobile UK and am looking to get me an x8 - i cant seem to find any unlocked x8s in the normal places - they are all sim locked to O2

Has anyone maged to get one unlocked? via payment or other means and if so where?

Thanks in advance
 
thanks man

Could you answer some other questions?
1. Is the screen res as good as the optimus - eg can it run apps from the market like sky+ (which dont run on HTC wildfire or tattoo because of screen res)
2. Can it bluetooth file transfer - a problem for most android phones on 1.6 but not the optimus?
3. Is there an official line on when 2.1 will be available?

cheers mate


1. the screen quality and resolution is superior on the x8 compared to the Wildfire.

2. Yes bluetooth is enabled on the X8 as standard.

3. No official date for 2.1 on the X8 yet, they claim by the end of this year, but you know what it's like, it's bound to be put back.

There are several X8's for sale on ebay that are unlocked, but your looking at
