Locked or Unlocked phones?

I am considering buying a unlocked 8525.

Will someone please tell me how Cingular feels about this? Do sales reps still get commission on just plans? What plan options do I have?

What are all of the differences between the locked and unlock versions of this phone? Besides price. I'd of coarse like to see if the price difference is worth it? Is there anyway to completely unlock the phone if I buy it through Cingular?

I appreciate any and all information.

Make sure that is is a cingular 8525, if it is not we are not authorized to activate it. There are of course certain ways to get around this...which you would have to speak to your specific sales rep as to what she/he can do. In addition to your voice plan and any additional features you desire, the 8525 also requires a data plan which is an additional monthly charge of $39.99 for unlimited pda connect, or $49.99 for unlimited pda connect with 1000 messages. We do not receive commission on the phone itself, your features accessories and contract are where we earn money. To be honest I am unsure whether or not there is a way to unlock a phone bought througg Cingular. Hope this was helpful...let me know if there's anything else I can do for y...
