How many people have the N900 on a plan vs. unlocked?
 

I bought mine unlocked but still in a 3 year contract with Rogers (Canada). The N900 most likely will never come to Canada via carrier subsidized route. It took the N95 2 years to get here.

I don't think anyone offers it LOCKED, but may lock you in via contract.

Got mine on contract.

Vodafone 600mins Unlimited text & unlimited net - £40 per month

Handset was free and came with 3 months free insurance.

Re: How many people have the N900 on a plan vs. unlocked?
 

Unlocked from Dell. For a sim card, I had lying around in an unopened Tmobile (also Nokia ;) pay-as-you-go phone I bought for free when I saw it on a deal site about a year and a half ago. When I called in I heard they had a Christmas deal going on where I got another 25 dollars on account free, which nixed my thoughts of seeing if they could convert it into a contract...

Instead, I told their site I had a sidekick -- at the subtle hinting of the Tmobile rep that I could -- and it works great for all data except web browsing for $1 a day that I use it. I might set up a proxy or openVPN something so I can do browsing, too. :) It's not a great monthly price, but it's okay.

The term 'locking' refers to a practice whereby the operator providing a phone sets the firmware to reject anything other than a sim from the same operator. Often this restirction can be removed by entering a special code into the handset termed 'unlocking'. The idea is for an operator to provide a subsidised handset in return for the end user being bound to their network for a given period (typically 12/18 or 24 months).
