Interesting mobile phone problem...

So I got a shiny new Nokia E51 last month. Great handset, pretty easy to use and configure and some lovely features (wireless LAN in such a small device is pretty awesome

).

However, I've been noticing a problem with text messages... Sometimes people don't receive messages I send, or receive blank messages. And sometimes I don't get replies from people or they get delivered quite a while after being sent (I imagine the latter is network lag as my sister gets that as well on her SE handset).

This morning I put my SIM back into my W880i and sent some test messages. There was a bit of network lag but messages delivered and I received replies within a decent length of time.

Is it possible that there is a problem with the E51? Or is it more likely to be a network problem? I doubt that ringing up Orange to ask about it will be useful as I didn't buy the E51 from them.

I did debrand the handset when I received it, could this be the problem?

Has anyone else had a similar problem and solved it?

If I can't get this sorted then I'll just have to go back to my W880i permenantly, and shelve the E51, until I can get my upgrade from Orange in December (when I'm hoping that this will have been released and be available

).

Cheers peoples
