So far as the unlocked conversation goes, one thing is being overlooked by everyone here:
If you take a phone with the manufacturers unlocked firmware on it to most any of the carriers, you will get no support from them "if" you have any problems with the phone.
The first time you have a problem that "might" be related to your handset, the finger pointing will begin and the tech support people will tell you that they only provide support for " X Branded" phones.
Not only will you pay a higher price, and have to shop around for support, you also will not be able use your carriers insurance against loss, breakage or theft, because they will only sell that to you if you buy a new phone from them.
I am not saying this in an attempt to try to discourage anyone from buying an unlocked phone, just wanting people to consider a couple of extra points before making that decision.
Again more of the carriers being protective of their profit plan, keeping that as a top concern instead of customer service being #1 or even trying to achieve a balance between the two. -- Best of luck
