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.

Great phone

I love this phone, after having a HTC Touch and a HTC Touch Pro, this phone feels like a fresh breeze of air. The software is fast, easy to use. The device is thin and light, the camera takes good pictures and offers HD video. It comes with a nice pair of earphones with volumen control. Everybody who has seen this phone has told me that it looks cool. The marketplace is easy to use, there're plenty of games and apps. The battery life is the average for this kind of phones, a full day with normal use, texting, occasional gaming.
