Hey guys maybe I havent seen the thread but I was wonderng if someone could tell me how to unlock my Nokia E62...it was bought for Cingular (AT&T) and I wanna now unlock it. Thanks!

Yeah, it has been discussed a number of times here. As I remember, if you are a Cingular customer and have been so for about 3 months, they will give you the code.

Not all companies will do that... I deal with Rogers, and when I asked for the code they politely told to suck eggs.

I found a way to reset the Key Count back to 0 and then I re-entered the unlock code given to me and.. the E62 is now unlocked.
This is how I did it:
Using NSS I created an "ask" file and sent it to B-Freaks at
http://www.b-phreaks.co.uk/ I want to say thanks to B-Phreaks for their service!
with payment of €20.00 which is about $28 USD.
Within several days I received an "rpl" file and used NSS to write it to my E62. It took less then 30 seconds to do it, and then less then 1 minute to unlock my phone.
I tested the E62 by putting in as Vodafone, WIND, and T-Mobile SIM and I was able to make calls.
Anyone with a BB5 phone should be able to use this method.
Now does anyone have the generic firmware for my Nokia E62:
I currently have Firmware 2.06.18.06.17 10.08.06 RM88 for the USA they can send me which can be installed using NSS?

Thanks for the info... When I checked their site, it indicated that the rpl file couldn't unlock the phone, but I understood it could be used to reset the counter for how many times you've entered a bad code. Where did you get the unlock code from in the first place?
