So I bought a N920W8 from Bell (Canada) and I didn't put a bell sim card in it when first powered on the device, but a Wind Mobile sim(Bell store people didn't touch the phone when bought). I was all ready with my unlock code I purchased and what do you know? IT WASN'T LOCKED TO BELL! It worked on Wind as if it was an unlocked phone. Then I had an idea to put a Bell sim card in and BAM! DEVICE IS SIM LOCKED. Seems that the phone locked itself to the first sim card's carrier it sees. This might be different for US/overseas models that are carrier specific, but here in Canada all our carrier use the N920W8...same firmware as far as I can tell. I can change CSC codes without problems too, however I did SIM unlock the phone before I tried that to avoid any soft bricking issues that might arise. Pass on the good news!
