hi
i will be going on a working holiday soon, and i was wondering if is possible to unlock a "firmware-branded" vodafone live nokia.
i personally hate nokias, but i can get a 3200 for 55€ and if i can unlock it i will buy it.
thanks

try this site www.iphone-forum.org
i believe you can submit imei number of phone and get an unlock code never tried it but lots of people on the site seem to be doing it.
also someone on this site was doing it. think he was from glasgow if you do a search under nokia unlock i am sure there name will pop up |

i imagened they would, i just needed confirmation, hence i'll be going to italy for a few months soon, so i'd like to use my vodafone points and get a nokia (because they are easy to unlock).
I'll probably get a vodafone-italy card anyways.
thanks!!

@folling:
Yes, it should work on a Voda Live! handset. I've used a Vodafone-branded T610 and my current P800 (also Voda-branded) with an O2 sim card with no problems. It probably won't get rid of the customisation, but at least you can use any network's sim card in the phone!
I've also got a DCT3/4 unlocker - great, aren't they! I buy up and fix a lot of Nokia phones, and it's indespensible
