I don't think anyone can give you an unlock code. You have to have the manufacture or a GSM provider, ie T-Mobile unlock it for you. However they may be resistant to doing that, since it's not in their interest.
However, have no fear, do a search on eBay for unlocking cell phones, or on google.com, and you'll find plenty of services that will do it for a fee.
The downside to that is there is no guarantee or warranty that your phone will work after the unlocking process.

Please also note the replies given on the Hiptop forum to your question, there seems to be a way to unlock it through T-mobile:

Though you should note that the device itself uses Danger, Inc.s servers and is useless without them. They wont allow logon from a non-TMobile AP. So even if you get it unlocked you wont be able to use it with a Fido/Rogers account.
