    yep i would rather invest for an unlocked phone that branded, locked by a carrier...also, it's ugly seeing phone carrier's logo on the phone. definitely, going to by SGS3 and not the us version because i know they will MODIFY its original setting.

                            It took Xperia developers a year to unlock the bootloader and that was only after the code was leaked to them.

                                No worries , it will be unlocked through a hack like all others and wont void your
                                warranty like with HTCDEV. People who are in to changing roms should know better

                                  This is exactly why the recent shift in the mobile industry from European dominance to American dominance is not a good one. Americans demand that phone companies meet the standards of these anti-competitive US "carriers".

                                    Does it stop you from buying an HTC from another outlet where it is not locked?

                                        Who provides Android? Thought it was an open source project as like it is an extension of linux, correct? So allowing cellphone carriers to dictate like this should make them pay a premium for locking bootloaders. They are too greedy, and should be forced to remove their bloatware, as part of any deal. All phones to should be generic sim free by international law. Too much power held by service providers, too little freedoms.
