N96 arrived!

Well, my N96 has just arrived, direct from Orange Upgrades - Looks like it's unbranded too - not an Orange Logo in sight on the phone/box or manuals.... Wonder if it's unlocked too???

Will have a play once it's charged - but WHY have they gone and changed the mini USB connector for a proprietory one???? Thats gotta be a step backward... Still no charging via USB either I see....

Ah well...

Mike

The new Micro USB is the new usb connector which will be on all mobile phones by 2012.

Maybe Orange are now adapting to selling unlocked phones, just like Vodafone now do with all new handsets.

You slide the locking button on the top - once you've done it, it'll lock everytime you close the keypad and unlock when you open it.
