I was able to get a 16GB from Fry's in Renton on Friday but it is apparently locked (no unlock symbol at boot). I'm tempted to return this in hopes of getting an unlocked one but it seems to be luck of the draw...has anybody gotten an unlocked 16GB from Fry's in Renton?
Got mine from bestbuy in bellevue and its unlocked.
If you get one without the unlocked icon, you can't root or what?
I was wondering bout this too, i bought a 32gb from Renton on friday, and it has the Unlocked symbol. I'm still reading up on these things, so i have no idea what it means.
If your bootscreen has a padlock your bootloaders unlocked. Doesn't make much difference now but it will when kernels start coming out. Got a 32gbtodayfrom Best Buy unlocked; my buddy got a 16 that was locked. He was bummed!

From SD, but figured it would be relevant to XDA'ers:
Have been looking out for deal on Samsung Nexus S with AT&T 3G (Model I9020A) and finally got it today from Amazon (the seller) for $424, no tax.
Here is the link:
Amazon.com: Samsung Nexus S Unlocked Phone - US Warranty - Black
Hope that helps...I think this is a great deal.
Reading the discussion comments that phone might actually be the i19020T
at the very least one of the alternative sellers are giving people i19023 phones instead of the proper one though it sounded like one of the people who ordered directly from amazon got the i19020T anyway.
So...well at least it's amazon so you can return it if you get the wrong phone.
Yup, it sounds like as long as you order it from them as the seller, it is the AT&T version. The other sellers may have different phones.

but aren;t these phones supposed to be unlocked from factory ???
I think I might have come across someone who said they got an unlocked tab from Amazon, but I'm about to order my 32gb model and I'm getting a little paranoid about how the rooting process is going to go, specifically considering I'll be rooting it via my Mac, which I don't even know if I can actually do. If not, can anyone point me in the direction of a thread that explains how to unlock the retail bootloader (if that is even possible?!)?
I've received mine unlocked

My 16gb from Amazon came locked. Got it rooted anyway. Wonder if I should exchange for unlocked? Any major advantage?
16 gb grey came locked...
Launch day 32 GB came unlocked.
Received my 16GB Grey from Amazon on Thursday, it was locked.
how do i tell mine is unlocked?
Throwing this out there for anyone debating whether to get an International SGS3.
You probably won't see it this cheap for awhile. I have an AT&T one, but am still thinking about it...

Hi all.
Well for one, I'm a member to the UK sim free waiting room.
I have a white 128gb on back order with EE. Got this through the company that handles my businesses communications needs. They have advised between 1-3 weeks wait. I've no issues with the wait. Looking forward to the phones arrival.
If we could use this thread to highlight any UK sim free deals and delivery time I think that would help us guys over here.

OK still no UK sim free deals that I can find. I know CPW are offering the S6 32gb and 64gb as handset only.. but I'm really trying my best to hold out for the edge.
Just spoke with the company that is attempting to get me my phone. It seems the 128gb sim free release are weeks away still, Mid June is an estimate. 64gb are becoming incredibly hard to source.. It sure looks like Samsung have a winner on their hands. Great news for them.. not so good for us customers that want sim free deals.
Just got mine today from CeX, aka www.webuy.com . I got it for less than RRP too! They might still have a few in stock, I got a black 64GB version. It was in box and everything is in place, only thing was added by CeX was a barcode on the inside of the box for their internal tracking I guess.

No problem. I just looked by chance, didn't think they'd have had any but I guess someone bought tons up and sold them off to them or something. I got a Grade A 02 Black 64GB since that was all they had in black when I ordered. Annoyingly it's locked to 02, I'm gonna have to pay to unlock it since I want to be on three.

Target!
I don't know if you are in the United States, but Target has the Moto G4 Play for $80. It's network unlocked and bootloader unlockable. That is what I am using now.

The promotional G4 Play is a stripped down 8GB model (~5GB usable) which will need a decent SD card to be useable for most.
oops. Thanks for the catch. When i bought mine online it came with 16GB, didn't realize there was another model.
I got mine at target it may be able to be u locked it usually take a up to a week after purchase that moto allows u to unlock the boot loader it wouldn't let me for like 6 days

Got mine at Open Mobile Puerto Rico as a prepaid, Factory Unlock and Unlocked bootloader no problem XT1607. My only issue is can't find OG firmware anywhere LRA_CUST
Some guy told me I can use a RETUS (USA) Firmware no issue but not sure.
