I have ordered a Nokia N-gage from here:
http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=B020230A

It says on the page that it includes 30 days free T-Mobile phone service. Does that mean it is locked to T-Mobile in America? If so, will I be able to get it unlocked and use it in Ireland? I really need to know otherwise I will have to cancel the order.

If it is locked to T-Mobile and you tell me I will be able to use it in Ireland do I just give you my IMEI number and you can unlock it?

Thanks and great site!

The n-gage does not come locked to any specific network. I bought mine from E.B. Games which is a sister company to Gamestop and i have been able to use it on Cingular and T-mobile just fine.

I e-mailed them about the phone and I got this reply:

Unfortunately, the N-gage only works with T-Mobile or AT&T. There is no way to get them unlocked for a different service provider.

Should I cancel the order or is this are they not telling me the truth.

Thanks.

NO you can get it unlocked
or by code (simple way )
or by cable method and software

iTS PLANE AND SIMLPE
caus they are getting something out of it
like some kind of % of profit on the call charges

so that they will stay on a provider
