E900 Unlock - Whats the best method

Hi,

I've got a E900 locked to Virgin Mobile and I know a lot of other people have recently purchased the same model.

Theirs been a lot of threads regarding unlocking and unbranding but what is best and safest.

1) Code unlock? - Popular and cheap but does it damage the phone

2) Software unlock? - Download software, hook up to computer and done
But what does it do and again does it damage the phone

3) Clip? - Hire from internet, buy from ebay or visit the market
But what does it do and again does it damage the phone

Can anybody answer what is the best method.

Also, has anybody tried the free internet/software unbranding?
I would like to remove any traces of Virgin mobile to give a fresh feel to the phone.

Thanks in advance.

    I'm going to close this thread as another one had to be deleted due to suspect advice being given.

    From what I understand the clip will work but I'm going to link Browntoa to this thread and let him give his expert opinion.
