Built in puzzle unsolvable #23

The 13th puzzle in the Easy group is unsolveable.

Opening the puzzle from fresh, the centre block is missing (3,5,7)
The 7 can only go in the centre position of this block.

Now there is no position in which 7 can go in the bottom-centre block.

I'm pretty sure this puzzle can be solved, have a look at Hodoku (sudoku
generator/solver/analyzer), it can help you with solving of this puzzle:

I'm not certain that you've copied the puzzle exactly, I will check when at a 
computer.
However, if you recreate the steps I set out above on the original puzzle, they 
prove it is unsolveable.
