Since this thread is still on the 1st page, I guess I'll give an update.

I had a SonyEricsson T226 that was network locked to Cingular that I decided to put some thought into unlocking. Well, I unlocked it and it still can't see Cellular One. I don't get it. The T-Mobile sim has entries for CellOne as an acceptable network. The only wireless provider that has service at my house is Nextel, and even then it's very low signal. If I go a quarter mile down the road, I have full signal. It's crazy.

My next step is to get a 3-watt booster to try out. If that works I will probably hook it up to a repeater.

Anyone in the market for an unlocked T226 (850/1900MHz GSM) upgraded to the latest firmware I could find?
