A few questions before I pull the trigger..

Hey guys, I'm about to pull the trigger on the Desire and just had a few questions hoping you guys could clear up.

1) I've been reading the best deal with a good data plan is from T-Mobile through quidco and mobiles.co.uk. Is the 50 pounds rebate instant?

2) If I root the phone will the Sense UI still be on there?

3) I've read you can get the unlock code from T-mobile after a month of usage, is that free or do you have to pay? And if I do pay to unlock it, it'll be unlocked for forever right?

4) I've been trying to get a concrete answer, hopefully somebody on this board can help. I have some Korean songs, will they song names display in the music player or show up as boxes? Somebody told me I would have to root the device and add language packs for that.. are they hard to find?

Sorry, this is my first android phone so I'm a complete noob at it. Thanks for any help!

2: Yep

3: You would have to pay, they usually charge something like
 
Rebate will not be instant. You will have to pay the first months charger then T-Mobile will deduct however much the rebate is you get off the following months until its covered.

I.E.
 
Thanks for the answers guys! Just one more thing, i'm a bit confused with the terminology.. rooting = flashing new firmware?
