Default Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 unlock

Can anyone recommend somewhere to unlock the X8 without having to take out a bank loan please?
Everywhere I have found so far costs a lot of money!

Any help appreciated! Thanks.

If you can root it you can unlock too I think try to search in X10 forums not ahve big differences from x10 mini pro

Not every site does the X8 though even if they do the X10\mini. Maybe it's because it's a newer phone? $40 to unlock a phone is too much!

bitye are you sure you can unlock it if you root the system? my wild guess is that the network lock trigger must be somewhere within the system, or at least the system can access it, therefore it pops up. does anyone know where this file can be found and how to edit it?
i've been searching the hell out of forums and never found any info relating to that. please share

basically they send you the software for the phone, but they do remote session you for a min, was a bit dubious at first but all was good
