So I wen't out and purchased this phone (Metro PCS version) and spoke with both Metro and T-Mobile about unlocking it. Metro says I have to have service with them for 2 months before they will unlock it and T-Mobile told me they would unlock it before I purchased it and now that it's already out of the package and I can't return it they are telling me they can't unlock it.

So now I am stuck with a phone I can't use and looking for suggestions on where to go online where I can get this thing unlocked that is fast and won't rip me off...anyone?

This worked for me, you need to message them your IMEI and stuff. Worked for me.
 
I talked with 2 chat agents and their supervisor with T-Mobile and they refused to unlock it for me...they said Metro PCS had to unlock it and they won't do it without having service for 2 months.
 
It's now a law that you are able to switch to a carrier of your choosing, so you can. However, you would probably void any discounts you got on the phone, and you would end up having to pay them ~$100 (I think that is the instant rebate discount).
