guys..bad news.. the Nexus S that Best Buy is selling is locked.. this is from my chat with their online help

"We will not carry an unlocked version, they are locked to T-Mobile. I know the press releases say so, but it is very locked to T-Mobile and can not be unlocked. If you want to buy without a plan, add to package, click existing customer, and then replacement phone. If you call us please call 8668132021 to place the order for delivery."

total bull spewed by clueless Best Buy jokers.

it's as bull as them saying that they'll only sell with contract online

Q: Will the Nexus S work on networks outside of the United States?
A: The Nexus S is compatible with Global Networks GSM 850, 900, 1800, 1900. Please note that all Best Buy purchases are intended for use in the United States only.

Q: Will an unlocked Nexus S work with carriers other than T-Mobile?
A: Yes, but it won’t run on 3G with all carriers. Speed and power will be reduced on non-3G networks.

I was reading the FAQ from BestBuy. Does that means that the unlock Nexus S won't run our SG 3G network?!

it might be saying that 3G is dependent on carrier. if carrier does not have 3G (in very primitive places) then it will run in 2G i think?

i feel so worried that if i buy i might get owned

pure bullshiat from best buy initially; you must remember that the general American mindset is that their phones will be locked, hence their initial response due to wrong assumptions.

 

[rabien]
