Hi,

I have just got this phone but I have a couple of questions about it.

It says in the spec you can use a 4GB micro card in it the only ones I
can find are micro SDHC will these work?

Also I need to unlock the phone to use in Austria ( where I will be
living for the 4 months or so before moving back to UK.) I thought it
would work with Austria 3 but it will not. Which is the best and
cheapest way to unlock it?

Also if I do unlock it -when I put a UK three sim in it will all the
features still work even though it is unlocked?? eg The built in skype
will still function.

Also what format is best to play mp4 I have put a mp4 clip on the phone
but it does not play smoothly. what is the best way to convert a video
to play on S2?

Thank-you very much.

At the moment I have not had any problems that other people have had
with the phone . I think it is really good for the price.

You can't unlock the S2 - it is proprietary to Three.

You can use Real Player to convert MP4 to something more friendly.

The micro cards are freely available - well at a price. One will fit
onto the slot underneath the battery.

Free Skype is prob. not avail. in Austria. Check the rates. You might
be better buying another phone with local SIM card!!

Good luck with your new lemon. CJB.

Yes SDHC cards up to at least 4gb will work, it might be able to
address even higher?

You will need to find a local unlocker with a hardware clip to unlock it,
if you search YouTube you'll see it being done

Yes a simple network unlock will make no changes to the phones settings.

Media Player Classic or VLC (VideoLAN Client) might be able
to do that, Google for a free download

SDHC cards *start* at 4GB.

Indeed they do, or another way of looking at it is ordinary MicroSD end at
2Gb
