I actually buy my phones in Hong Kong when I go back because it is either a lot newer or a lot cheaper (or on occasion, both) and I can just stick in a sim card when I get back, no need to unlock, nothing...
however, if u buy phones in north America, i believe that is a different story, or maybe its just canada... I bought a roger's phone once and that HAD to be unlocked. Telus is what my parents are on... since they usually get them from Cell City, everything is done by them.
