    debranding is quite easy apparently.

    all you need is nemesis service suite (google it) and change the product code to a generic one and then update the firmware via nokias update service and change the product code back to the one under the battery just incase the generic one causes any problems.

    to unlock them you will have to phone up the network it is locked to as they are the only people that can supply you with the code as its a bb5 nokia

    You will need to phone o2 to get it unlocked though.

    I had the same problem with tv, the way round it is to go on to the web but connect through vodaphone live rather than gprs and you get see the tv channels from here;)
