I was trying to play the devil's advocate here. Apparently failed. For sophisticated arguments you have to wait for Karel, or read Dan's arguments & links, or...
Your "SIM lock" argument didn't fail for lack of sophistication, it failed because it's wrong. Getting legal unlocked GSM phones is almost trivial. Nokia doesn't need to "change this overnight", it's already a done thing.

As I said in another thread, I have 3 Nokia GSM phones. Only 1 of them was purchased from a carrier, with lock and contract. The other two are unlocked and have no contract (and one of those is the one I actually use).
