Err... several questions here:

- Which Chinatown in which city?
- Where did you hear that someone can unlock it?
- Who told you it needs unlocking?

Are you saying that universals don't need to be unlocked?

My O2 Exec is unlocked. Lots of other people in these forums have bought O2 Execs that are unlocked. The original poster wants to buy an O2 Exec. There's a chance that it may be unlocked when he buys it, although there are also rumours that recent O2 Execs are now locked.

I'm saying nothing about Universals in general.

Note: The locked/unlocked status of the O2 Exec is not necessarily the same as JasJar, Dopod, M5000 etc. The lock status depends on the phone service provider.

I bought my xda exec from o2 online store and it is unlocked, same for my brothers, but my mate bought his from theO2 store and that is locked,
Also from what people have been saying the Orange branded spv M5000 is locked, dont know if theres any truth in that,

hi free_10w
I bought my xda when they 1st came out as soon as o2 had put it on its website I bought it for £233.00 for the device plus my monthly contract, the device came unlocked I had it exchanged because I done sumthing to it and again the device o2 online store customer services sent out was unlocked, then my brother bought his from o2 website and it was unlocked but when my mate and others bought theres from the store the devices were locked, the o2 online store must get a different batch then the rest of o2 because they have there own customer service team and way of doing things so if you have a normal contract they won't assist you, you have to call general customer services same with me when I first called customer services they told me i had to call the online account management team,
also with buzz's ROM unlocker will not sim unlock the device it will just allow you to edit what's in the ROM, and if you were to just change the ROM to jasjars it will still be sim locked,
I'm hoping one of the guys can get a simunlocking tool for the locked universals I'm getting oranges m5000 in a few weeks to sell but I know that it will be locked!!
