I'd guess the only time you'd want to get it unlocked would be roaming abroad in non-3 markets.

Are there any lower cost HSPA phones available anywhere in the world? (legit sources & major manufacturers only)

What's the lowest cost HSPA dongle on the market? (legit sources & major manufacturers only)

If you just want HSPA access, why not buy a dongle?

Q: was there ever an unlock for the original Skypephone? That was pretty cheap too.

It's the lowest cost HSDPA-capable phone on the market (£70 for 1 with £10 credit, or £100 for 2). I'm trying to work out the extent to which that's subsidized pricing ('cos you can't easily unlock it).

Next best is VOD, which has the Nokia 6124 on for £100 and it doesn't lock phones anymore, so far as i know.

Thanks much!

I'd be interested to know if it had features that weren't currently available on most web-capable mobiles. No comparison to the existing web interface?
