In reply to Removed User:
I emailed the seller the other day and took their silence as a bad sign, but a few minutes ago I saw an email in my spam folder saying they'd send me an unlock code if I gave them the IMEI number (which I've just done).
New question then: assuming the code they send me works, does anybody know if there will be any network incompatibility issues? It is definitely a GSM phone as Hooo said and although I couldn't find anything ominous when I had a quick search online earlier, I've since read something about there being a difference between US 4G and UK 4G (apparently US 4G is LTE or something). Don't suppose anybody can clarify either way? It's so rare that I buy a new phone and the last time I bought one it just worked!
Edited to say I'm not really fussed about warranty as I think UK-bought ones only have 12 months anyway (this comes with 6). As long as it'll work as well as a UK phone and unlocking it won't screw anything up then I'd be happy with it.
