Does it show the O2 logo when you switch the phone on?

If so it's locked to O2 and 2.2 will probably come to it in a few weeks, maybe longer. I'm on O2.

Root your phone guys and get a 2.2 ROM installed. I'm new to Android and also on o2. I rooted on Thursday and have tried 5 different 2.2 ROM's. Now have one I am happy with. It a really easy process and no waiting on o2!!

Froyo does give you the ability to store apps on sd card, but only if the apps are coded to
