Can I sell my 3 Handset?
I have upgraded with 3 and have a replacement handset (new and sealed) coming tomorrow.
Am I allowed to sell the handset pack sealed on ebay? I don't think theres anything stopping me here is there? |

Whilst there is nothing stopping you selling it, many Three contracts specify that the SIM must be used in the phone supplied by Three. There have been a couple of threads on here by people who have bought handsets from eBay and then found that Three have blocked them because eBay is not an authorised distributor of handsets.
Anyway, I though you just got a W595 which you were pleased with? |

I'm not sure what to do. No the W595 is far from pants. But because I couldn't download and install MSN on my old W595 handset, I am concerned it will be the same on this one. Which is all down to the 3 software. I think I will try it and go from there when I get my replacement tomorrow.

I can't re-flash the handset from the sony site as this will remove the 3 firmware. |

Seeing as it's only been about a week, couldn't you cancel the '3' contract and just get a decent network provider and phone?
(by decent phone I mean not branded the hell up!!!)

You can indeed! Though it won't go for as much as it's so heavily branded.
£150 , possibly ? http://completed.shop.ebay.co.uk/ite...Q_sopZ3QQ_scZ1 |

I can't re-flash the handset from the sony site as this will remove the 3 firmware. Use the sony update and flash the phone this will install the 3 software firmware again, don't trust me contact three |
