Yes you will still be able to. If your phone is branded to t-mobile it the update might take a bit longer as T-Mobile need to approve the update.

If you flashed cwm recovery,you are unable to update by ota.And i think,if you have unlocked your phone,why not use custom roms,they are much better than official roms.If you use custom roms,ota is not necessary at all.

I thought you can't flash custom roms with a locked bootloader?
