I got my phone unlocked when I was having an "extended lunch" in London once.They also debranded it. Only charged me a tenner too.
When I got back to the office I downloaded the "Nokia Software Updater" and downloaded the newest firmware. Bobs ya dad.
Runs sweet with the real Nokia software on. The difference is astonishing, it's like a different phone.Eat Right, Exercise, Die Anyway.Comment

Most mobile shops will unlock them and they'll usually de-brand as well if you ask nicely! There are people on eBay doing return by post service, but I guess it depends on how much you trust people!
The "branded versions" of firmware are usually a few revisions behind the "normal" nokia firmware too.
I promise you once you've got the latest regular firmware on, you'll be blown away!Eat Right, Exercise, Die Anyway.Comment
