Nokia 6280 from 3 mobile - they say it cannot be unlocked - is that true?

Nokia 6280 from 3 mobile - they say it cannot be unlocked - is that
true?

Am considering buying it from them, and living out a contract, and
when the other providers start 3G, porting.

But is it really impossible to adapt/unlock the phone?

Thanks in advance,

Tim.

NO, they are talking SHIT. What they should be saying is that they
REFUSE to unlock these phones.

Unfortunately there isn't BB5 unlocking available to the public yet but
I know many people overseas are working on it.

Hi,

3 lies. you can unlock them. If you live in Perth there is a shop in the
city in piccadilly arcade that unlocks them for $30. Pretty cheap. I use to
have a 3 phone and 3 told me it can not be unlocked but i took it to them
and they unlocked it for me. only takes bout 2 mins.

If this is true, they are the only ones on earth outside nokia and 3 that
can.
