I am considering one of many SIM unlocks on the market till a software unlock comes out. Rebel, Turbo, Yes, Any-network

Could people post which one they used and there experience:

Firmware:
Sim Cutting: YES/NO
How long have you had it running:
How long does it take to pick up:
Any trouble taking SIM back out?:
General comments:
Link where you bought:
Price:

This info would be so useful to people like myself considering this option, which I know there is a lot of.

Even when Software unlock comes out, I feel better with hardware unlock, as O2 will sell pay as you go from tomorrow and with SIM based solution my warranty would stay in tact for 12 months, after this I would go software unlock for sure, if there is one out there.

Thanks.

There's a special forum for this. Why didn't you post this there?

Welcome to the fail forum

CrapSIM unlocks are not good for your warranty either, as you run a high risk physically damaging your phone using one (and of course they don't work as advertised )

Check the stickies, kthx.
