i work for the carphone warehouse & the truth is that there are two versions of the pink v3.
the virgin model is locked to virgin. it costs £129.99 but you also have to put a minimum £20 topup on it so it costs £149.99 all in.
you can also buy a foctory unlocked version for £149.99 on fresh mobile but you have to put a minimum £40 topup on it so it costs £189.99 all in.
to be honest mate, your better off buying the sony ericcson z520i. it has a pink replacement cover in the box & it's cheaper (£119.99 on 02 with a tenners credit in it & it's unlocked) it's also more reliable & has more included features.
hope this helps
