The Sprint TP2 comes SIM unlocked, but with a catch. It will not pick up any US networks without a patched radio. Also, you can not install a different radio without also having the SPL security unlocked (which is part of the SIM unlocker). If you want to figure it out yourself go for it, but I think it's rather selfish to expect someone to spend that much time hacking things for us so that we can use custom ROMS (among other things) and then not get anything in return. She chose to let the HSPL be free, but charge for the SIM unlock. Hardly unreasonable.
