I know your phones come "unlocked", but are you guys only allowed to use Sprints SIM card or can you pop in a 3rd party companies card?

Not really screwed us, but more like unfair to us Sprint owners. If VZW TP2 can do US-GSM carriers with an OFFICIALLY provided unlock code, where Sprint simply says no subsidy lock (maybe it's just lying so you don't even have a chance to unlock it) and locks down the US-GSM carriers, then it's just simply unfair for us.

Heck, we even paid more for the phone too.

I'm going to dig into the registries and such to find out exactly, what is blocking it.

As for official 6.5 upgrade, yeah it'll be a while before Sprint release it. Way before then the HardSPL would be out and hey, who knows, maybe it's a done deal.

No the subsidy unlock code is unique to each phone. It's calculated based on the IMEI code, on the sticker on the back of your phone.

Oh it says it's unlocked but here's the deal. It simply refuses to go on ANY US-GSM networks. Doesn't matter if it's an AT&T SIM, an US T-Mo EVEN AN European T-Mo and prepaid SIM, as long as that signal goes onto the US GSM-towers, the Sprint TP2 will simply say no service (refuses).
