Hurry or not, READ THE FAQ!
Unless you intend to use your phone with a different operator, there is no need to unlock.

There are no tutorials or links, because you cannot unlock the galaxy s at the moment.

That's not entirely true. I unlocked my UK Orange locked Galaxy S. Just google for "NCK code samsung galaxy s". It cost me about $30 to get NCK code, but the shop I bought it from refunded me this amount. It was their fault to send me a locked phone instead of unlocked.

As for procedure of unlock... you just enter the code when you see a prompt for sim unlock code.

No. The SIM-lock remains after rooting and/or flashing!

Anyone know if they would have the unlock codes for the captivate/vibrant?
All of the people in those forums that ive seen have tried unlock sites, and they ended up being refunded because an unlock code wasn't available.
