How I locked & unlocked MotoRazr V3i
I bought a Moto Razr V3i in 2006. One of the most stylish phone I have ever purchased.
I wanted to update the firmware on the mobile and found few sites which offered firmwares and flashing guides. I picked up few and flashed the firmware. Unfortunately, the firmware I flashed was a locked firmware, meaning it does a sim lock. The mobile I have had an unbranded firmware as there is no concept of Sim-Lock in India.
So I want to unlock my mobile (Without paying ofcourse) and was searching the net until I came across http://www.modmymobile.com where there are knowledgeable modders who really helped me in unlocking this.
OK lets get to business

Flashed Nokia C6 firmware on my Nokia 5800
I manged to flash Nokia C6′s Firmware into Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. Detailed steps with pictures will follow.
Feel this firmware is much faster than the Nokia 5800′s firmware. One feature I really like is the “Restart Phone” along with “Switch off”

Addicted to Turok for PS3
Turok was one game which i wanted to play from late 90′s but couldn’t due to inefficiency of the graphics card i have had so far. Finally with my new PS3 I am able to play this wonderful game. Graphic details are way too much for this game. Any RPG lover will soon get addicted to this game!
Turok official website: http://www.turok.eu.com/uk/home.html
I guess it would take at least a month or two to finish this game due to lack of time
