The Pre launched in Ireland yesterday on the O2 network. I decided to pick one up for pre pay for €419. A full review will be coming soon just a quick few points to note so far.
- Activation requires data connection and uses your credit, this cannot use Wifi.
- Unlike the US version of the Pre, it is not possible to turn off data which means it’s almost impossible to stop the phone going online, O2 should really have thought of this before they launched the phone without a data plan on Pre Pay.
- Phone is sim locked and asks for a networking unlocking code when a SIM card from another network is inserted.
