Unlocked (what's this?)
What is an "Unlocked" phone?
Many cell phones are designed to use a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card to store subscriber data. These SIM cards are issued by the carrier and provide cell service to the phone. "Locked" cell phones will only recognize SIM cards from the carrier that originally provided the phone. Almost every cell phone provided by a US carrier is locked to that carrier’s network.
"Unlocked" cell phones will recognize SIM cards from any carrier using Global System Mobile Communications (GSM) technology. Customers with "unlocked" cell phones are able to use any GSM carrier of their choosing, including "pre-pay" or "no contract" SIM card options. "Unlocked" cell phones also accept international SIM cards that provide discounted rates while traveling abroad.

Don't bother?
Having used my C6 for a couple of weeks I can say i'm pretty disappointed. The whole unboxing experience felt like I had purchased some cut-price Chinese gadget, with cheap packaging, awful 7€ headphones, a plasticky feel to the device, with camera/keylock buttons that are so loose that they rattle when you shake the mobile. They even cut the Micro USB cable length down to about 15cm, just to save a few more cents... Another disappointment is that for god-knows-what reason, Nokia have ignored the perfectly good Micro-USB connection on the top, and have chosen to ONLY allow charging via the charger cable, meaning I have to carry a charger with me everywhere. General feel is a cut-price phone where all expenses have been spared. Now I really I wish I had purchased a HTC, instead of wasting another few hundred €uros just to protect my 'investment' in registered Symbian Apps. :-(
