I do not know about earlier Cingular Blackberries, but I do know that the Cingular 7290 is unlocked. Keep this in mind guys. I work for AT&T/Cingular, and when we first started getting Triband, and Quadband phones they WERE unlocked, however, now all the phones that were unlocked, are locked. We believe it is because AT&T employees abused the "satisfy the customer" policy we had for special cases where legacy AT&T customers wanted the Razr or MPX220, but didnt want the current Cingular plans.

I do not know if this is temporary or if they are adopting the AT&T policy of phones being locked. I will post more info as I hear it.

To my knowledge though, the Blackberries are still UNLOCKED!!
