Heard all the jabbering about them so bought one off eBay

to use for a few months before my contract ran out, thinking that if I liked it I could upgrade to an iPhone.

It came locked and whilst trying to restore it my laptop timed out and this seems to have interrupted the restoration, I'm now stuck in restore mode
