we should make a sticky that says...
topic: you cannot use 8830WE on AT&T, T-Mobile or Rogers

Q.) Can I unlock the 8830 to be used on ATT (cingular) or T-Mobile?
A.) NO. The 8830�s GSM operates in the 900 / 1800 Mhz band where as T-Mo and AT&T use 850 / 1900 in the united states. You can not do ANYTHING to make this work. If you want a 8800 series, buy the 8800 or 8820 which is GSM.

The above is pretty far down in the FAQ and this is by far the most common question (IMHO).
