Where did he ever state that he was taking it apart?
I had a phone unlocked (nokia) by someone who gave me an unlock code (virgin mobile in usa wouldn't let me do it so I had to call them like 5 times untill I gave up). However, seeing as yours is quite new, I doubt you'll be able to unlock it using codes so you really do need to check with that guy.
The future holds bright things in it\\\'s path, but only time will tell what they are and where they come from.

RE: Unlocking "3" phones...
All Nokias unlock using unlock codes. These unlock codes are automatically generated using the IMEI for the phone.

I have a Motorola E1000, not that it matters.
Man, if you can configure it yourself through the phone (which I think you can) use the configurations on this site :
http://www.mobileshop.org/usertech/gprssettings.htm (O2 is listed there)

RE: Unlocking "3" phones...
I had a go, Johny, but whatever site I go on, they don't seem to have every setting. Here's some examples that arn't on the lists: Domain 1&2, Service Type 1&2, CSD No. 1&2, GPRS APN.
And when I leave them blank or put anything in them, it says 'Browser setup is incomplete'

RE: Unlocking "3" phones...
Things may have different names in your phones UI, and "CSD No. 1&2" and "GPRS APN" wont be both filled in. CSD and GPRS are different link layer protocols, you will use one or the other (probably GPRS).
Create a new set of settings, and fill in the ones which you are sure of, and ask for more help here.

RE: Unlocking "3" phones...
To go back to hypedupmonkey's problem. You phone is a BB5 phone. This means there is a more advanced way to unlock your phone. the only way that it can be done is by the phones network provider. So, contact 3 and ask them if they can do it

O.P. RE: Unlocking "3" phones...
I've been to the unlocker and they told me to go to another place a dedicated phone shop.
They said the Nokia 6630 can be unlocked but its tricky and they cannot do it because of its Symbian OS, My Nokia N-Gage is Symbian but that was unlocked...I suppose the 6630 is much more advanced.
Still, I'm just gonna buy the 6630 from Virgin Mobile's website for £150. It saves me looking around for a place that can do it, even if it is £50 more (Yet, I need that for a new graphics card )
