Hey folks, whats the situation regarding a K800i supplied via Orange.

Can they be unlocked/debranded, or is it not possible yet?

I'm more interested in getting mine debranded rather than unlocked but obviously this would be good too if its possible!

It can be unbranded, but not unlocked. Wotanserver, & Davinci I think, using the cable supplied in the box.

Try this method it will work with any locked orange phone no matter what make or model. I tried it with a nokia n80 i bought off ebay and i got the unlock code from them in 7 days by email.

Unlocking Nokia Mobile BB5 Phones N80 6280 N70 E61

Yes an Orange sim-locked Nokia N80, N70, 6280, bought off auction sites can be unlocked by Orange without much hassle.

The procedure is

1.) buy phone
2.) buy Orange sim (£1 online)
3.) register imei with sim by calling 08000790006
4.) wait for phone to activate
5.) call orange on 450
6.) Request unlock code
7.) upload £20 to prepaid balance
8.) Wait few days for code

In the United Kingdom, government regulator OFCOM dictates that networks must release the unlocking information to customers for non-contract handsets (e.g. Pay as you go) on request. Consumers who purchase handsets under “Pay as you go” or a similar scheme are purchasing the handset outright at the point of sale, this has in effect made phone unlocking in the UK a consumer right.

UK Network providers are permitted to charge a fee for releasing the unlock code, this has prompted smaller businesses to offer cut price unlocking on the UK’s High Streets.
