This may be true for many, but I can tell you that all of my WM Pro devices have been unlocked and I've paid as high as $700 for a phone. My last non-phone PDA (Toshiba e830) was imported from Canada.
What irritates me is the fact that now its not an issue of being willing to pay the price. Now the manufacturers are leaving out radios.
