There's no sense in releasing a quad-band phone if it's locked - you wouldn't be using more than a single band most likely.


I have to agree that there's no sense in locking them, but sadly, most are. I don't know about Canada, but in Japan ALL phones are locked to the carrier. I had to have mine unlocked before I had it shipped over. Check howardforums, you'll find that locked GSM phones are a huge problem in general.
