That's a case of "you vs. the people" then.

Last figures I read about the topic was (in a printed article, can't link to it) that here in Austria, the market share of unlocked phones has grown from 17% in 2008 to 28% in 2009. The article also says that these numbers are high compared to the international average, and that the unlocked phones are mainly the cheap models, whereas high-end, expensive models are usually bought on contract.
