Yeah I tried it! My formerly UNLOCKED phone is now LOCKED! Don't do it!!!!
Yes I purchased the Audiovox from someone here in Canada as "unlocked". This guy is one of the only people in the world who knows how to unlock them remotely. It turns out that mine was unlocked from the beginning but whether you had it unlocked or it was unlocked (some of the original units were) the rom update locks it again. However, the rom update is supposed to make the unit faster and freeze less. All bonuses! This guy you can reach him at callme@rogers.com. You can pay him via pay pal and he gives you a file to replace on your pocket pc via active sync. This unlocks the device again. If you hard reset it relocks so you have to replace the file any time you rom upgrade or hard reset. But I believe its the only method. This guy is the real deal and he has lots of feedback on Ebay. The info I received on the firmware was from him.. I do trust him because he has connections at Audiovox.
Hope that helps.. oh by the way the price.. at least what I paid was 53 and something cents CANADIAN! so that makes it a great deal for US dollars.
Anyways.. hope this helps.
