Unfortunately I don't have one of those near me. Also judging from what I've
read online it seems the N70 and the other phones in the N range are not
that simple to unlock. Anyone confirm or deny?

At least it's now possible since Dejan released his unlocking solution for
certain BB5 handsets.

Some people have reported success using a DKU2 cable, but we've found
numerous communication issues using that approach.

There's discussion of Dejan's method at various forums on the net.

I've just ordered a DKU-5 (Usb/Serial cable) for £4 from someone on
ebay. To try unlocking my N70s

Same here. Read the forum notes then purchased the cable for around £4 inc
p&p off ebay and unlocked both our N70s. Both were with 3UK and have since
been debranded again using free software available on the web. Many thanks
to Dejan and others.
