Hi,

I can only speak from experience. I am in the UK and have had a lot of phones repaired under Nokia warranty (i have 4 being done now) and have had no problems with unlocked phones at all.

You will only have problems with a Nokia warranty if the phone has physical or more importantly liquid damage.

HEY.
Also, if you take your fone into a nokia service centre!
Dont be a DUMB-ASS and tell them you have had your fone unlocked.
Usually they dont check, because if its a software or hardware problem
they cant get that information out of the fone.

SO DONT TELL THEM...

As long as there isnt a patch loaded / or the phone has been reset using a clip then a NSC cant actually touch the simlock which is a different part of the flash ie calculate the code and key it in!

When a Service provider supplies a code for the phone it still shows up as simlocked on the warranty screen
