[Chester LUG] LUG Social Tonight!

Vodafone don't sell locked handsets anymore, unless the handset is locked because of a legal contract with the manufacturer and or because of some exclusive deal.

That sounds amazing though, Dan! How much did it cost? If you're on a Vodafone contract mate, I can give you one of my eight 30% discount slots on your monthly bill if you like?

You get root access and you can even install stuff with apt-get if you want. I've added a few custom repos. It's pretty cool. Completely unlocked, even the ones on contract from Vodafone are unlocked. It'll run any Python GTK or Qt apps. I installed Vim and QEmacs in the pub to let the guys play with them.
