debranding and unlocking are two different issues
you can debrand your phone easily with one of the flashing programs such as FAR, SETool, etc...
but if you want to unlock the phone, it'll cost $ for the service such as Wotan Server, SEKing, etc...

Unlocking does not void warranty in some phone service.
You can ask the phone service to unlock your phone.

it doesnt void your warranty since youre merely putting the phone to the state that SE intended it to be. If your servicve provider doesnt honour your warranty then send it to Kuhne And Nagel who are SE official phone servicers. Or take it to a SE service centre. Or deny all knowledge of messing with your handset.

It doesnot void warranty? I always thought it would! That's why i waited for a year!..lol.. its cool though.
Can anyone around here tell me how much cheaper is a locked phone than an unlockd one? A retail unlocked W580i here is about 300$ i guess.. how much is a locked one?

Here in Holland ( at least that's what i've been told) unlocking doesn't void warranty..

But the moment that you debrand your phone and/or break it while flashing, then you can say bye-bye to your warranty...

And about the prices, in wich country are you talking about?

Here in Holland no company is fulling around and putting high-featured phones with prepay simock to sell...thousands of little gsm-shops over here unlock almost evry SE phone for 10 euros or less...

That depends from operator ( i gave for my k800i 190 € locked , but unlocked about 450 - 500 € )

You will sure void warranty if you do anything with firmware, so wait till u are out of warranty, any changes made to phone software will void warranty, and if u face problems with phone, contact your nearest sony ericsson service center they will correct your phone, and that is better. Enjoy retail version as it is and study tutorials in top sony and share phone related isssues.
