Given that most CDMA phones in the US are sold unlocked (no SIM to begin with, and most US CDMA carriers won't register a "foreign-to-their-network phone" without some argument) I assumed that was what he meant by unlocking.

Does anyone have any experience with ebook reader software on any BlackBerry? Absent that, the option is a non-starter for me, although it may well be helpful for others.
