Yes the Zest is definitely unlocked, so go and enjoy your new device!

Great! Cheers for the quick reply Boz.

Don't forget to let us know how you get on with the Zest.

Based on the above review and the fact O2 are now doing this for £205.73 ( inc £10 top up) PAYG, I bought one from my local store. This makes it the one of the cheapest wifi enabled phones available. O2 website still shows it at £244 + £10 top up..

I took ages trying to decide on a new phone and decided to try the Zest despite knowing nothing about Windows Mobile type phones. Expect many a post asking for help. First one will be about a new keyboard for Texting as the supplied one is too small.

Hi pwood - welcome to 4Winmobile
Look forward to your questions there is sure to be someone who can help.
If you post an introduction in the intros forum you should also get a few more "hello's".

As for an on screen keyboard I use Resco Keyboard Pro - it works well and there are loads of skins so you can choose a look to suit yourself.

Hi, my first post here after buying the zest last week, which is really great. Has anyone managed to find a case for it online that is for the zest and not just a generic?

I've not seen any yet, but I'll ask around a few of the case manufacturers and find out if there are any plans for one.

Just to let you know, I bought a Zest on Saturday. I'm glad I didn't rush in and buy it earlier, seeing as the price dropped to £205.73!

I'm impressed with it so far. By the way, I can confirm it was not locked to O2, just as was posted earlier

I'd be very interested in hearing about a Zest-specific case too. I had a look around online and there seems nothing for it, which is a pity.

That is a bargain for such a good device, and unlocked too! I had a look around for Zest cases and I didn't come up with anything either, it is as you say a shame that no one seems to make one.

Do keep us posted on how the device performs for you, and if you need any help just ask!

I've emailed a couple of suppliers to see if there'sanything in the pipeline.
