A835 - What's the story with unlocking?

I have a friend visiting for a few weeks from the UK (I'm in Africa) he brought his
shiny new phone with him only to find the bloody thing won't take a local SIM
card.

I'm not used to Motorola's, mostly people here have Nokia's. I seem to be having
trouble finding any unlock code generators for the Motorola - is it a "new" phone
nobody's released a decent (free) SP unlock code calculator yet??

Anybody able to help?

TIA!
