Default which sim card hack works best for the locked i9000m (Bell version)

Want to know how to unlock my i9000m currently locked to Bell Network (canada).
If anyone has experience with any of the sim card hacks (turbosim, etc) please post your feedback/experience so that it can be determined what the best simcard to use until the unlock code fix (software hack) is out which may potentially take upto a few months.....

Thanks.

Search. This info is all over here and hofo.

In short, none. No hacks have been released. No codes can be had unless its right from bell. The turbo sims are spotty and unreliable at best.

Because this information is spread all over the place, I am starting this thread to consolidate this info as many have been asking this question in various other threads.
As I already stated, there is no code out YET for the Bell SGS. so during that time, sim hacks can be used in the interim, and yes some are unreliable, and that is what I am meaning to get at, the performance of various sims...wish you could have responded with something that I am actually asking for, than just repeating what I already said.

I did. You ask for feedback on sim hacks. I gave you some. They all suck. I have used a few and they all failed but one. The one stopped working after 45 seconds.

I dig them up when i get home. When i say unreliable i mean they work then stop working. I have not read one instance where someone is using one on a continuing basis. But ill post the names of the ones i tried later.
