That sounds like a good reason to get a SIM-free one, and use it with 3's SIM-only contract (which are supposed to work "with any 3g handset", unlike a few years ago where you had to use a 3-branded handset).

I really don't like the software networks add to their locked phones.

Like all the memory gets taken with games you can't play without paying, but you can't delete to use the memory for something else. And menus and home screen buttons you can't edit (even though the SIM-free one has them editable). I've had both of those from 3 on some handsets.

I'm really glad they've started supporting "any 3g handset" at last. My N900 will be a SIM-free model from the Nokia Shop, with an excellent SIM-only deal from 3 :-)

Nice to see the new 3-compatible firmware's ready before the N900 has actually started shipping :-D
