My last was my SE C902, as a VM PAYG upgrade - if I had a non-VM sim handy, I'd try it... it's certainly unbranded. On my old phone, it may have been the branding tweaks that were screwing up some Java apps - never could get Google maps to run on my Sagem MY411C.

From what I remember, Virgin SIM cards work in T-Mobile locked handsets, however they do not with Orange locked handsets. This is because Orange is a roaming network; for example if you were in Spain, although you're on Orange, you can select Movistar as a network.
