About unlocking the T-Mobile G1 (In USA)

[ReuvenNY]

My wife and I are planning to get each an T-Mobile G1 phone early February. In the second week of March we plan to travel and would like to be able to use the G1 while abroad.
I know that T-Mobile has a policy of unlocking their phones upon request after 90 into the contact. I am trying to figure out what my options are and would appreciate some input.

* Does anyone know if there are any circumstances where T- Mobile will unlock a phone sooner then in 90 days? Any suggestions as to whom and how to contact?

* Alternately I would like to unlock one or both phones on my own. I see quite few vendors offering this service for fees ranging from $1.99 to $25.00: is paying more assures me of a more reliability?

Here are some vendors I found:

http://www.unlockdata.co.uk/
http://www.cellunlockstore.com/
http://www.phoneunlocknow.com/


Any opinions? Any help will be appreciated.

To be perfectly honest i don't like the look of any of those sites.

If i were in your shoes i'd have a good look through ebay and see if you can find any already T-Mobile unlocked handsets.
