I've looked for a couple of days now but all the sites seem to be down.
Its a T-mobile Motorola V300, which I want to use on O2.
Thanks in advance, if anyone can point me to a site that'll do it.

No problems, thanks very much for having a look for me regardless of the outcome. It seems as if (I've phoned a site) the motorola server is under a massive demand for unlock codes, and its taking up to three weeks (*!?!??!?!!*) for codes to be genned.
I only got the phone yesterday and its the girlfriends yearly upgrade that she has given me (sweet lass. Keeps my happy with gadgets ;)), so I don't think I'll get away with the 3 months thing. Still, a shop locally will be getting hardware in next week, so they should be able to do it.
Thanks again. I'm new to this lark, so am a little uninformed.

Hopefully. thats one of the reasons I want this V300 unlocked. The Usb Cable will be coming tomorrow, and the game is written to j2me / MIDP2.0 standards, so I cant see a problem. Its nowhere finished though, and what you see on screen is the player, a scrolling arena, and 40 monsters following the player. No collision detection as of yet. Still, not bad for less than a weeks work, from not knowing ANYTHING about mobile gaming and only a little Java. ;)
Apparently though, if you've had the phone on T-Mobile for at least 3 months, you can contact them and they should unlock it for you. Don't hold me to that, it's only what I've been told. I've never used T-Mobile to find out myself.
Sorry I couldn't be any more help.

Hmmm, weird. You must be firewalled.

Much appreciated.
ACCESS DENIED
:(
I'm asking around for a site I used to use that did free unlocking. I'll get back to you on wether it still exists or not.
> You're writing a game? Coool.
Aye, but as I say, I need to play it on a phone keypad to make sure the control method works.
