Some folks have mentioned that due to previous legal agreements, Verizon is required to unlock should someone choose to do so. Thought this topic deserved its own thread for those like me who are unsure whether or not they want to stick with Verizon.
I personally am considering taking this to T-Mo if I can (looks like it supports the correct frequencies?). No huge complaints about the 925, but 928 comes out sooner and looks sleeker to me. I'm also going to be abroad in the Fall for 4.5 months in Singapore and would like a phone that could work there. Yes, life would be simpler if I would just wait for the 925, but I'm not yet on a smartphone people!!

Likewise, the 925 is an upgrade for the TMO users.
As far as unlocked, if you look at 47 CFR 27.16 (e) you will see that for phones on Block C of the 700 MHz band (Verizon's LTE), carrier locking is prohibited. If you want to be sure to get one unlocked, buy it from Verizon.
