there was a sim icon in the status(where network is shown) and a red line was on it indicated that sim is locked.

RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.19-1.004_PR_COMBINED_004_ARM.bin This it is an indian one.and worked fine but no skype! also it takes 30-40 sec in starting (the globle for me was taking tooo long in starting(it took 3-4min in starting not only first time but every time)
