    D'oh!

    I downloaded that and couldnt get it to work, I thought I installed the drivers off the CD but might have just installed the samsung software. Can you also use it to flash the firmware?

    Excellent find by the OP. Ordered two, but only one has arrived so far. :rolleyes:

    Thanks for the tip, Beanys. Managed to unlock my phone with the software, tried T-Mobile and O2 sims so far and both work fine. Just to clarify, to find the COM port that your phone is connected to, go to Control Panel > Device Manager and double click on Ports (COM and LPT). It should read Samsung Mobile USB Port (COM#) underneath, where COM# is your COM port.

    Also, if you have had a previous Samsung mobile and still have PC Studio, just connect your F210 and PC Studio will automatically update your drivers.

    I've installed the unlocker, but when I try to use it an error message comes up stating that a file is missing (sting.ocx) and it won't run? I have tried re-installing and tried to run as administrator to no avail. I am using Win Vista, any idea's?
