Hey guys I have been lurking around the forums for a while now bus as you can see this is my first post and I only registered today.

I am really liking the N900 but I am not exactly liking the quite high price tag associated with it. It is possible for my father to get the N900 much cheaper as an upgrade through Vodafone Ireland but I am wondering then if the phone will be locked to their network?

If it is then is it possible to unlock it some way? Sorry if this is a totally stupid question or if it has been asked before but I would just like to get it straight before I take the plunge and steal my dad's upgrade.

Thanks for reading guys!
