The Unofficial Speak Out Wireless Canada Consumer Page - Topic: Need help finding a phone https://www.speakoutwireless.ca/speak/phone-features/need-help-finding-a-phone/ Simple:Press Version 5.7.5.3 chimpanzee on Need help finding a phone https://www.speakoutwireless.ca/speak/phone-features/need-help-finding-a-phone/#p27545 Phone/Device Issues and Features https://www.speakoutwireless.ca/speak/phone-features/need-help-finding-a-phone/#p27545 wotanserver.com

what they do is they have written a pretty well polished unlock program which do it all for you automatically(other than requiring you to short two test point on the phone).

it will unlock everything and allows you to flash generic rom(i.e. no more telus logo on boot) which they also have special program to do it, for 2 times free.

well worth the 10 EURO(no tax).

They are the same company/people as fastgsm.com and given fastgsm has been in this business for a while, I would assume if their stuff is spyware/trojan, it would have been reported now.

But if you are paranoid, find an old PC and install a plain W7 to do it then scrap it.

Can you suggest a trustworthy unlock site?

bought it. this phone is really small(a bit too small). So heavy texting can be difficult and the font is on the a little bit uncomfortable side(though probably because of my eyesight is failing due to age).

have to factor in the 10-20 dollar unlock fee.

I would say this is a very nice media player/pocket camera type device which happens to have smart phone functionality. text centric activities IMO is not recommended but one has to try it out.

My wife is on maternity leave and requires a phone for a year. We have the most basic SO phone.

I would like to get her a phone with:

good looks (subjective)
keypad (she likes to text)
easy to unlock
new in box
price range up to $150

Thanks!
