I've had a V195 for about 5 months. I recently asked for and received unlock instructions from T-Mobile. See this.

benlg said:Yep, worked for me as well. Just call Tmobile up and say you are going on a business trip/vacation and you want to use the phone abroad. It says 90 days but I called on the first week just to try it out and they emailed me the unlock code withing 24 hours.
I bought my V195 on eBay. I went through the unlock procedure that T-Mobile sent me but there was no "SIM Unlock" option on the final menu. There was just the option for "Browser Setup". I'm guessing that means it is already unlocked. I've asked T-Mobile but I haven't heard back.
