It sounds like the phone is still locked to o2.
Try again to unlock it

So with a non o2 sim in, what message do you get on screen when you connect to iTunes?

You shouldn't need to connect to itunes at all. A non-O2 sim should either work or not as long as that sim is active with it's own network.
