I got my HD2 yesterday from wodafone on a £35 a month contract and noticed that it had no branding on it whatsoever, so curiousity ended up in me trying different network sims in it and sure enough, it's unlocked too! Did anyone else get a brand and sim free HD2 from Vodafone?

SOme people say you can only use 02 simcards, some say they can easily use other simcards?

Had one from online and one from shop, both unlocked!
Hi guys,
is there any online shop selling Exec at retail price?If there is,pls post here.
Thanks
OK with Orange SIM
works fine
Almost all XDA Exec's offered on eBay come withour a sim-lock. What is the experience from the owners here? I want to buy one from eBay.
My Exec from O2 was shipped without a sim lock. I only tried a Orange and Virgin sims in it, they work. Good luck.
I got mine direct from O2 Online and it was not locked.
I tried my new xda Exec with two different SIMs (apart from o2's):
Orange(uk) SIM and a foreign Orange SIM.
Luckily it seems that there are no SIMlocks on the xda Execs, from my own experience and that of others on various forums.
I also seriously doubt that o2 would put SIMlocks partially on only some of the Execs (but then you can never know for sure... :? )
Mine came from O2 online and it works fine with my t-mobile SIM including 3G

Howto Unlock
How do i remove my simlock from my htc magic. Is there special hardware equipment needed.
I understand that the simlock mechanism is separate from the firmware mechanism.
Can somebody give met technical details?
They are already unlocked.
Vodafone edition of the HTC Magic works with all carriers, so no need to unlock
does that apply to germany as well?

celester340 - if you are in the USA you can get an unlocked Magic from ImportGSM.com - thats where I got my Rogers Magic and using it on AT&T with full 3G. If you are not in the US, the Vodafone units are the way to go..many on-line places to get those.
Regards - John
And if you are with T-Mobile US, your only choice is the Google Ion as of now. By month end, T-Mobile will release its version of the HTC Magic (myTouch 3G).
i got my phone from ebay UK YAY!!!!
magic from operator 3 in sweden also not locked
Get a locked one and get it unlocked.
The simplest way

If anyone who has a vodafone desire HD in the UK, can they confirm is the phone is supplied unlocked or locked ? Could they also tell us where it was purchased from. Many thanks!

I don't want to hijack your post but ditto on the T-Mobile phones, any information on if their phones are locked or unlocked.
If you buy from carrier retail shop they are normally locked, but if you buy from a third party they come unlocked most of the time. Just ask who ever your buying from.

My friend got his from Vodafone unlocked. The guy at Vodafone said that due to the short supply they were just getting them unlocked from the manufacturer and sending them straight out to customers. This was about 2-3 weeks ago so the situation could have changed.
I received my replacement from Vodafone last Friday, its completely unbounded and unlocked

I got my DHD directly from Vodafone - it is unbranded and unlocked - per my own experience with Vodafone - over the last 2 years or so I got the following phones from Vodafone:
- Touch pro2 - branded but Unlocked
- Windows 7 Trophy - unbranded and unlocked
- Desire HD (DHD) - unbranded and unlocked
so far all phones have been received direct from Vodafone and all have been unlocked - so I think I can make this healthy assumption that HTC phones are pretty much unlocked from Vodafone.
Hope this helps.
Can confirm mobiles.co.uk was unlocked
Got mine from Vodafone online 1 month ago, unbranded and unlocked
Sent from my Desire HD

Luving this site which I've just stumbled on and answered my question straight away, so here's some info that I've been told from two different T-Mobile UK staff.
Phone is SIM locked but the firmware hasn't been touched (this site has confirmed this too)
The phone will have some kind of T-Mobile logo branding but that's it. I can't wait for my new DHD to turn up now, no stock with T-Mobile and may not be for 3 weeks or more ...... nevermind hay I'll just have to wait.
Hi Guys
I pick up my new streak tomorrow from someone local on eBay, It's currently locked to O2, just wondering, is there any other way apart from rebel sim ii to unlock it? I noticed they can do it over the air for £35 but not sure if anyone has tried this? I know that O2 can unlock it, but considering the streak's only been out since august-ish, i'm guessing nobody should have had luck with them in the first year?
I've also noticed that the 2.2 update won't work with rebel ii ?
Cheers! Dave
i believe this question has been asked multiple times on the forums and some O2 customers have been able to get free unlocks from the carrier, no idea how though since im not an O2 customer. otherwise, ebay can be your friend too but it will cost you more.
