Hi there,
I'm currently in Tokyo and grabbed one of these (second-hand) to replace my rapidly dying Z1 Compact. As I'll be heading back to the UK in a few weeks, is there any way at all I can get this model unlocked? I assumed I'd be able to buy a code from an online marketplace when I bought it, but haven't had any luck. Is there anywhere in Akihabara?
The only place I've found online is here: http://www.sgkeitai.com/goods.php?id=25, but spending $50/100 to unlock a phone seems pretty ridiculous, surely there's got to be a cheaper alternative?
Cheers,
Upon further research, I think a hypersim is the way to go - does anyone know where I can buy a nano microsim?

hi there
i just got myself a Wallaby to experiment with the PPC world and so far have been enjoying it greatly.
the thing is, the Wallaby that i got has crack and scratches and i un really like it. as such i would like to buy a new casing.
i tried doing searches and pm-ing those who sold cases but did not get a reply. i guess the information could have been outdated.
as such i would like to ask if there is any place that i can get an XDA casing. i live in singapore and would thus appreciate a site/person who does international shipping if it is located overseas.
also while we're on the topic of replacement, are there any good sites/members selling other accessories as well?
looking forward to your replies. thank you so much in advance.

Do what I did, go to a few of the smaller cellular phone shops and try and buy one of their old dummy phones. I was able to pick one up for $15 USD. With Stylus!
After actually using my M5000 for a couple of weeks, I've decided to go back to my trusty old Nokia 9500.
The M5000 was unlocked by Orange for a fee of £20 -- any ideas on how much I should be asking for this. eBay isn't a real guide cause you get some real daft bids. One I was tracking ended up at £500! I assume it was one of those "Nigerian scams" and the guy probably had to relist.
I'd just like a realistic guide price so that I can enter it on eBay.
Well, the fact that it is unlocked wouldn't matter much now since Buzz has released the unlocking tool for free. I'm looking at around £320 if it's brand new.
If anyone is interested, the M5000 is listed on eBay, the item number is 320008328670 (just do a search).

ANyone like me? i'm very tempted to import X01HT by Soft Bank, the whole white keyboard makes it very tempting to me for some reason . But I was looking at WiKi and i don't think there's any way to unlock a Hermes yet beside that UK web site. And I am almost 100% sure it'll be locked to Soft Bank. WHat would you guys suggest??
Why not just pay the 30GBP, it does succeed to unlock the device.
BTW the Softbank X01ht has a silver, not white, keyboard.
you might get one cheap on yahoo auctions japan.
and then just unlock it

i got one and its unlocked. great phone, very fast. few things that needs to be fixed as its new and just unlocked. but i got it and love it.
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.

Atrix will work anywhere
You need to check if the one you're looking to buy is already able to use any carriers SIm... if it isn't then there are people on ebay who will be able to unlock it for you and it should only cost you a few pounds.
