Hi there lads and lasses!
Great to finally start posting here! I've been following the forum for a little while, watching and biding my time to buy my first EVER smartphone! Of course it will be android I'm very excited about it, and given that options in Canada are terribly limited, I feel lucky that the HTC Desire Z is coming out tomorrow! It seems like a great phone!
A couple questions for a total novice like myself - I plan on unlocking this phone (given that it is with Bell), and bringing it over to Koodo mobile and enjoy cheap, contractless rates. I'm quite certain that's allowed as it is a) a gsm quadband phone, and b) they both run their 3g networks (koodo=telus) on 850/1900mhz. So: does anyone have any unlocking tips/hints/pointers as to where I should go to figure out how to unlock it? Would anyone say it's a bad idea to unlock a phone (as far as I know that voids warranty). My biggest question with that is: would i still get to enjoy the new Sense ui if I unlocked it and switched providers tomorrow?
Cheers,
Bfalcon
