Orange UK does something special with their locked handsets... they have to... unlocking a rogers x10 is like 5 USD.
I got mine unlocked via a person on this forum, ferraripassion, i think. i would give their website but i don't think i'm allowed. but their website unlocks handsets from another manufacturer - they have the instructions for the xperia x10 on their forum. They charged 40 USD and they were able to do it in a half hour (connect the phone to your computer, they remote into your computer, run software and done)
Before, I had ordered an unlock code from a different website. They were a little cheaper and promised 24-28 hours. BS. 2 weeks later they had nothing. I constantly sent emails, etc. I got fed up and threatened to do a charge back, in spite of their 21 day policy since they obviously weren't doing anything except changing the status manually. The code eventually came in about 4-5 weeks after my order. A waste of my time though.

Search the forum for super 1 click root, there's an option to unlock your phone once you install it on your pc. Good luck!

Will search for that program. Thanks guys!! much appreciated

As I know, T-Mobile UK and Orange UK are joined together. Ask T-Mobile UK customer service about that. I think, I saw this sort of questions at the TMO UK customer service forum and that should be free.
By the way the X10 unlocking is actual now again since the unlocking server is down and all those "$40-services" are temporary down too. Look like all of them did their business through Sony Ericsson server and actually didn't have any own know-how. It is possible that actually this server is up long ago, but they cut off the access to this feature or found an employee, who sold access (see levels of EMMA).
Look like I need somebody from T-Mobile UK to order unlock code too (this service is for current customers with street address for receiving paper mail).
