No I mean the new silver model which is being released this month sometime - i've not seen it actually available anywhere yet.

Has any one managed to get theres unlocked ? I think it can invalidate the warranty.

I would doubt it, all HTC models are now unlocked by buying a code, this has absolutely no affect on warranty.

You get the code, put the new sim in and then input the supplied code. Phone unlocked.

Having checked the net about buying a code, there seems to be a problem getting the phone unlocked. Check the net and see for your self as I haven't found anyone that has unlocked the Wildfire but I have found many who have had a problem trying to get it unlocked.

Check what Martin has to say about unlocking a mobile and warranty.

You will note I didn't quote or answer the question specifically related to the Wildfire codes, I mentioned codes for HTC phones in general.

However a quick google finds that codes are available and working on the Wildfire.

For example (and number one on the Google search)

To be frank I don't really care what Martin says about phone unlocking, he is a financial expert, NOT a phone expert.

I can tell you with 100% certainty that unlocking a phone using the code supplied by the manufacturer does not invalidate warranty.

I very much doubt unlocking the phone will invalidate the warranty as the unlocking issue is to do with the network rather than the manufacturer of the phone. (IE HTC)

you are right in that it doesn't invalidate the warranty, however with HTC phones the code actually comes from HTC and not the network, but once you get the code it is as simple as entering a phone number to input it.

If you are still looking to unlock your Wildfire, I can recommend an Ebay seller called e-unlocks, I've had 5 or 6 codes from him, all delivered in under 24 hours.

He has a listing on Ebay now with Item number:110596043007
