That's what I thought, but a quick Google showed that some Nexus S phones are locked...maybe it's a frequency lock...

Not necessarily. Three UK have said that their Galaxy Nexii are locked.

i have the Nexus S, and no, it was never locked in any shape or form

you either get the GSM version of the CDMA version

that's all

just like the new GN, you either go for the GSM version, or the CDMA version

This is, I have one waiting for me to buy at the O2 store, the kind helper said he'd keep it for me until I arrive....

WTF? that's new, that would really suck, the whole concept and ideal behind Nexus phones are unlocked and easy ROOT out of the box

Wow! 3 really like to screws things around

just like Verizon in USA, adding their crapware into stock AOSP

i spoke to 3 yesterday, spoke to a couple of their representatives to confirm if there was a SIM lock on the phone, they confirmed that there was

Vodaphone said their Nexus S are locked, but they weren't. The stupid O2 Customer Services say all O2 phones are sim locked.
