A bit more research on it and it seems that it will work like the current iPhone; changing the SIM to a non-Rogers/Fido SIM will brick the phone and it will have to be re-activated via iTunes, and Apple will have a list of IEMI numbers for each carrier.
This keeps the phone locked to the carrier, which I guess is no different than all the other phones.
