Maybe with the wealth of unlocking services and with the price going down to single digits or free for the code they might be forced to do it.

TMobile already gives out the Unlock Code after 90 Days into a Contract, if you request it. But looking on the Net there were UnLock Codes going for the low teens!

Dem probably a hole it dung hoping fi mek some money.
The IPhone is going to put so much pressure on the other phone devices, I am sure the WinDoze Mobile Device Manufactures are hoping to be able to sell unlocked, unrestricted phones, while the carries are still looking for ways to chain their customers
to their service.

Have you ever heard of the HTC Wizard?
Sold by many Carriers under a variety of names and Operate on WM5.
Well WM6 was previewed, but never released and already there are @ least 6 or 7 version of it out their for the HTC, HTC Hermes, DOPOD, Cingular 8125, Cingular 8525, Qtek, T-Mobile MDA, Sprint PPC-6700, O2 XDA, TyTN, DoPod 838Pro, HTC Blue Angel, iMate JAMin, Dopod 818 Pro, Orange SPV M600, Qtek S200, O2 Neo and many more variations on that theme.

So adaptable is this Phone/PDA that when it is unlocked, you can even run SKYPE via WIFI without a Cell-Phone Carrier.
Now a manufacturer who has a product such as this, suffers from the device being crippled by a particular carrier.
