It's unlocked for sure. Why cancel? You're going to get hit with major ECF. I phoned every FS and BB in the Lower Mainland. Only a few have Telus ones in stock at 600 apparently? The buying outright vs contract thing is a load of crock. Some said yeah no problem, some said straight up no. Really does make me think the department is cashing in on the commission secretly. FS Broadway and Pine said hes like pretty sure he's getting Rogers ones in today so he said to phone him every so often to check. Same story with the FS on Bridgeport. Anyone try the Surrey/Langley locations yet?

Mikroft: Did you sign on to a 1 year to get the 499 pricing? Everyone else is seling it for 549 including their site.

Yeah they should be unlocked. Anyways. I might not even be keeping mine. If I do get mine shipped and I don't want it I'll sell it at my cost to anyone here.

No Contract pricing. If you look at my invoice it's $429 + HST

It's been verified from a few users on XDA that the Nexus S is unlocked.

I found multiple stores that will sell it outright. FS I think at Lansdowne said they would, except he quoted me 600 over the phone. Having a Rogers/Fido/Telus whatever isn't stopping me, its the damn mixed up price points that are getting to me haha.

Picked mine up at White Rock FS yesterday night. No other FS besides Lansdowne would let me buy it outright. I'm on Rogers but got a Telus cause it didn't matter anyways. Make sure you price match Telus's web price of 499.99 cause it's in FS/BBs system at 599.

Loving this thing so far, a fresh of breath air from a locked and jailbroken iPhone.

They should be all unlocked regardless where you buy it from.

Okay so I unlocked the bootloader and have CWM and Rom Manager installed. But when I tried to install CM7 with Rom Manager, it boots me out to CW Recovery and I have all these Missing cache blah blah on the front and I can't flash any roms. I read up on it and this one guy said to use the 9023 file instead of the 9020

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988686

Except I dont even know how to install those imgs. I tried virtual terminal and it couldnt find the file. And I dont know how to use fastboot to install.
